I have fallen 5 times in the past couple of months, and the
last time was on our marble bathroom floor. I hit my head hard but was only
recently aware of what a brain bleed is. I feel very lucky.

Get well Dickey.

Wear a bicycle helmet until you get stable. Ya need to protect the gourd. It's where you live.

Seriously, if a sports helmet should be worn, I think a hockey helmet would be better for such a purpose. Seems to me that bicycle helmets tend to best protect top region of head, but leave too much other vulnerable areas exposed. I’ve never understood that about bicycle helmets.

Dickey continues to improve. This out today from his manager.

“Betts’ manager, David Spero, posted a note on the musician’s website Wednesday from Betts’ wife, Donna, that said, “Off the respirator and doing great! Talking, laughing and, of course, complaining! We thank you all for your love and prayers. He still has a ways to go.”
