So I went to see the Medical Doctor yesterday. His verdict was clear and unambiguous: I had suffered a concussion last Saturday when banging my head in the fricking and life-threateningly too low ceiling on the second floor of the Starbucks Cafe on Tottenham Court Road just opposite the Center Point.
Furthermore, it was clear that I thus had been quite tough on myself running two marathons within three days with this dangereous injury, a feat that could be fatal if not to say LEATHAL ! I still suffer severe headaches and had to cancel a pleasure trip to Jutland this weekend as well.
Morale: do NOT underestimate the potential leathal impact of a Grande Latte 😉
Ok.. more seriously so… episodes like this makes you think a bit about the values in life. Stuff can happen and steal your entire life in a second.. a blow to the head, a car crash, a stray bullet or a bad disease. We can fall short to Destiny in many ways.
My only thought this past week has been: I want to see my children ! I want to see them grow up, I want to see them live and be happy, I want to give them all the best in Life that I possibly can. I don’t want to die now ! Maybe I’m overracting a bit… but then again, ask Liam Neeson if I am, his late wife dying after a ridiculous head trauma on a skiing holiday.
Life really is precious – NEVER fall pray to triviality, complacentcy or foul play.
Live by honesty and courage !
Live !
