Readers,
It’s been a tough couple weeks around here. But when things get bad, the best thing you can do is give back and wait for things to turn around.
If you have a problem, contact me. I can help. I will help. And I will protect your identity.
Yours in Christ,
H.S.
Dear Helpful Snowman,
Can you die from a concussion?
Thanks,

Dearest Babe,
(that’s how I start my love letters as well)
What a question. But maybe we can start by asking a simpler question, What is a concussion?
A concussion is a real bad head injury. Real bad. However, they are mostly fake and used to raise tension in football movies when a lineman has to decide whether or not to play in the big game and risk getting another concussion, a precise number of which seems to be bad news in these movies.
I myself have had three, none of which are related to football in any way other than there was probably someone playing football somwhere as I ay on the sidewalk, completely dead to the world.
So the quick answer is No, I can’t die from a concussion.
Perhaps you meant to ask “Can ONE die from a concussion?” Perhaps your atrocious use of language is a result of a concussion you’ve already sustained!
While I am apparently invincible, you are not, my friend. You have a weak, fleshy, human brain. I would suggest that you wear a helmet at all times, and in order to head off jokesters at the pass, get a giant bumper sticker with the word “Ree-tahd” printed in glittery green letters over an oval of gilttery silver letters.
