I mean, have you ever stopped to think about how many times we've been knocked around on a bike or hit our heads on something and not even thought twice? It's crazy to me that concussions are still such a mystery 
. And the stats are wild - 1-3 million Americans every year? That's like, a whole lotta bumps .And don't even get me started on how hard it is to diagnose them. Like, what even is a concussion? There's no single test for this stuff
. It's just a bunch of symptoms and doctor's discretion. And the treatment options are pretty standard - rest, hydration, nutrition... yawn 
.I'm not saying I'm against progress or anything
, but can we take it easy on these new-fangled concussion helmets? They're not going to make us invincible 
. We still need to be careful out there and look out for each other 
.
I'm so worried about people not knowing how serious concussion injuries can be! It's crazy to think that between 1-3 million Americans go to ERs each year for concussion-related issues 
. And what about older adults? Falls can be super sneaky! 
The thing that freaks me out is there's no single test for diagnosing concussions... like, how are we supposed to know if someone's okay or not without some kind of concrete check? 
My cousin played football in high school and was diagnosed with PTSD after a few years – it totally messed up his life. We need to start talking about the emotional toll of head injuries, not just the physical ones 
and once those fragile brain cells get damaged, it can be a real challenge to recover. i've seen friends in their 50s & 60s struggling with mental fog & memory issues after a simple slip on the sidewalk. so yeah, being aware of these risks is crucial, especially for us seniors who might not think we're as fragile as we used to be
