"Temporary" Venting Thread V

Yikes, that's some concussion! Poor kid, I hope she'll be better and remembering all her math and months soon. But shouldn't the school have checked for fractures from the start?

I once (accidentally! honest!) gave my sister a concussion when we were playing. She had headaches and minor concentration problems for months but no memory loss, she remembered very well why she was angry at me for at the time!

The diet sounds difficult, I know some larger supermarkets often have an aisle specialised diet foods like salt-free. But two weeks is indeed long and once you start to take notice, salt is indeed just in everything. Any results of the thyroids test yet?

As for the city, we'll try official procedures first. Contacting the media probably isn't going to do us that much good. For one, the public opinion lately has been slanted against people who hold up public projects if the projects mean loss of property or benefits for them. "Progress shouldn't be halted by malcontents" seems the prevailing mood. And in this case, nobody really loses out but us. The neighbourhood in question is a bit run down, so probably most people will support the project. The city has the right to seize buildings for projects of public interest, but luckily there are protest and complaint procedures.

I just wish people would stop demanding things for us for a while and pretending we should be happy they take it off our hands.
