Where did that happen ? Which path was that ?
It was on the Cooksville Creek Trail, just where the path goes under Mississauga Valley Blvd.

+1... My grandfather fell off a ladder once. After several days of headaches, his wife (not my grandmother) took him into the hospital. Turned out he had a subdural hematoma. Several hours of surgery later, and a long time in the hospital, he recovered enough to carry on for another 11 years.

One of my high school classmates took a fall out of the back of a (moving) pickup, felt fine for a while, then began feeling quite ill. Three hours later he died. Subdural hematoma's are nothing to mess with.
Well thanks for re-assuring me. I was wearing the helmet and I did hit my head. I expect there will be some discomfort. Should I be running for a CAT scan? I dunno. I am feeling MUCH improved from earlier in the day. (although im still a bit rattled) I'll be driving in tomorrow, that's for sure

The only discomfort im feeling is a tingling sensation on the left side of my body...im not to sure how much to read into this
