Thanks for the well wishes, but this accident happened last year (see original post date). 
I took a fall last night.

Yeah, I thought the same...another accident...poor Daryl...poor wimmens of N.W. Florida...but it's not. But that is good as you are healed up by now and we settled the point about the highest point in Florida on our ride last year before Christmas and the area that was the highest point (back in the mid 70's) is no more...Scot in Exile is correct, it is Britton Hill.
Glad to hear that you are still okay Daryl. By the way I am now a Thunderbird owner.

Passing out sucks and is (obviously) very dangerous anywhere.
New Years morning, 2005, I passed out twice due to dehdration from a really nasty flu and cracked my head wide open. I was not drinking but I should have been, and I mean water and lots of it. When I woke up from the second one I managed to have enough left over to call 911, open the doors and sit back down on the couch. At that time I had no idea what was going on but figured it may well be the end. When they found me my pulse was 40 and I didn't even know what year it was. The hospital lubed me up, stapled my head back together and sent me home. The worst part is I had a big mess of blood on the kitchen floor to clean up when I got home. I should have been wearing a helmet...
After that near death experience (to me anyway) I went through a bit of depression and figured a new toy would fix things right up. A month later I had a brand new Rocket 3 in my garage. And that made it all better. There are not too many problems that cannot be fixed with a new toy, especially a toy like the Rocket.

Glad everything worked out for you Ugarte. And yes, a new Rocket is a great way to treat yourself. I actually ended up treating myself to a new Thunderbird shortly after mine.

Good thing that didn't happen when you where on your bike. My condolences and hope you're feeling better.

Yes, Daryl, we all knew that. I think they were referring to the ongoing psychiatric fallout...

I do get the occasional nose bleed up here in the highlands.
Back in my competitive days I worked out with a fella who was a very brittle diabetic. Serious bummer. But Tim Belknap managed to mold himself into one of the most massively muscled bodybuilders I've ever seen, despite the diabetes
As you know, it's survivable with proactive lifestyles. At 5'4" in height Belknap weighed a gargantuan 250 very solid and hugely strong pounds!!!...Don't know if he ever wore a helmet
