    I can't go out for drinks and dinner to celebrate, so here is my celebration post.

    Back in December I suffered a nasty brain injury from a slip and fall on ice. I ended up in the hospital for 5 weeks, half in the ICU. I had bleeding on the brain, some loss of motion and some brain/memory issues.

    Anyway, I went in for my 3rd MRI brain scan and got the results today. Everything looks normal. No more bleeding, brain matter is healed and just overall very good looking. I'm still using a cane, but this is really good news.

    I guess until Covid goes away, if it ever does, VMB will have to do for my celebration. :beer: :woohoo:

    Good news Joe.
    But let’s just assume you’ve already shown who’s the boss with the ice and not repeat that incident.
    Good to hear you’re well or at least back to feeling normal. Poor Jody.
    Take care. :rolleyes:

    Glad to hear OC the recovery. Are you seeing a physical trainer? Are they helping you on the physical and cognitive side?

    Congratulations! That is wonderful news after a terrible accidental injury. I'm glad you're doing well in your recovery. I will celebrate with you in socially distanced non-alcoholic VMB emoji fashion.
