As I said, of course one should be watchful after any sort of head trauma. ?(Yes we should all wear helmets!) ?I'm merely pointing out that she took a very soft fall, yet wound up dying. ?This is NOT the typical outcome of a minor head injury followed by careful monitoring and excellent medical intervention. ?
Lynn's story makes my point. ?She says, "I flew over her head and hit the back of my head",?a pretty extreme occurrence--much more dramatic than a little tumble in the snow, yet Lynn is still alive and well enough to make cogent points about head injuries. ?The trauma on Lynn's scan clearly shows damage, yet her brain seems to be functioning well. ?
My point was not, "don't worry"; ?my point is, "don't worry overmuch." ?Stress is unhealthy :-)
