Hey, thanks for the kind words all. Look at it this way...

now I have an excuse for any intellectual shortfalls... or HTML editing challenges...

The hemorrhage was nickel-sized in my right temporal lobe, along with a cracked skull (non-displaced thank God). The headaches have subsided to near nothing, but a half-day at work is pretty exhausting. I was able to generalize from a complex problem to a seemingly unrelated cause, and solve the problem for a coworker, so I'm not brain dead yet. Side effects include some sciatic nerve sensitivity and muscle spasms in my legs, I can't touch my toes even close.

So short-short, I am very fortunate. Never, NEVER hang off a truck to counterbalance it. Too easy to fall off and end up UNDER it! I knew better but apparently denial is not just a river in Egypt - though I really cannot recall. Strap to the roof or such, and stay AWAY from the truck!
