News - Byron Hatcher crashed earlier this month. He was riding on El Camino Real and cycled over a sweatshirt that was pulled up into his wheel and got caught up in the brake causing him to stop abruptly and go over the handle bars onto his head and shoulder. His injuries were a concussion, three stable fractured vertebrae in his neck and (a late finding) a fractured collar bone. I had the
pleasure of babysitting Byron while Brooke went to get pain medication. It was an entertaining visit. Byron, still suffering some short term memory loss from the concussion, repeated his questions and comments over and over. I understand how family members with Alzheimer patients in their home feel!
