Like others here I just got back on this morning.

  Glad to hear DD is coming along even if it's a slow process. Had a close friend take a bad fall 15 yrs ago while he was rollerblading. He bought all the safety gear for his wife/2 kids but skimped on getting a helmet for himself. He was a local roller rink regular, could do all the fancy moves and dance too. That didn't help him at all.

  He's back to normal now but it was a long slow process. DD is a fighter, he'll do all he can to get back to what he loves.

Just goes to show you can't plan for everything or always see danger coming.

All those years DD backpacked/canoed and avoided serious injury and he's done in by some frozen water.

Blessings on him and his family.
