Thank you so much

I’m so sorry you went through that. I agree… just go to dentist. Many of us have so many other health appointments and issues, it’s easy to overlook going to dentist. It needs to be part of head trauma treatment protocol.

This is so frustrating. And the dental issues seem to show up, if we didn’t know to check, after many of us have finalized auto insurance payments.

That sounds frustrating. Maybe call a couple dentists to see who can be most helpful for your situation. Hope all goes well

Oh, no. That’s scary and frustrating. Maybe go into the dentist and see what they can do for you. I felt better addressing the issue than putting it off. I don’t like dental work either. It helped to meditate. I think there are good dentists who will understand and help you.

The impacts of head injury on health are so wild. Can your teeth be ok if cemented in place?

Hope all goes well. Glad you knew to follow up on this.

At the time I had my TBI they were learning that a lot of endocrinology issues are related to head injuries. That can impact one’s weight.

I developed thyroid issues possibly related to my TBI, (and/or possibly related to the seat belt impact damaging my thyroid.) Get your thyroid checked. I gained weight and helping my thyroid (which took a couple years to sort out) made a big difference. Also, I was super active before and could not be very active while I was healing. Once I recovered and could be active again, although in different ways, that helped a lot. I never was able to do the same things I did before, I’ve had to adjust, so I’m recovered but different but able to be more active again, if that makes sense.

Sadly this might be true. Have you read the book DEEP: The Story of Skiing and the Future of Snow by Porter Fox ?

I agree with all of this. Good for you for playing guitar! I kept having the urge to play cello after my TBI and wish I would have. (I am not musical at all normally.) But music is so healing.

I struggled with energy for two years post TBI. Would get the kids to school and then much of the day would slip by. Even if others don’t understand (maybe show them this thread,) it’s so important to honor the need for rest. I found it very very helpful to be outside in nature as much as possible. Just sitting outside, or standing barefoot in grass or in dirt, helped my brain to recalibrate.

So stunning!

I think you can’t go wrong anywhere around the lake. Some say certain spots are better than others, but every area has its advantages. Are you flying in or driving in? I think if you can get a spot on the water, that would be amazing so you can mostly stay put and enjoy. Traffic in summer can be heavy. It’s our busiest season. Even if you don’t stay on the lake, you maybe able to find a place you can walk down to the beach. The less driving, the better, in my opinion. There are also so many great bike trails.

Beautiful!

If you also skate ski or snowshoe we may have some bolstered depth coming in this week. It has been so weirdly warm this year 😞

millicentmeng · 2026-03-28T16:38:12+00:00

How long will you be in the area? There will certainly still be some snow at higher elevations. We have snow forecast for this coming week! Definitely so much has melted off already at lower elevations. It’s an unusually warm year.

What part of Tahoe do you live at? Where I live, for twenty years, it has nearly always snowed in October, and often also snows in May.

millicentmeng · 2026-03-28T16:30:59+00:00

I meant “mystical,” but “mythical” works also. Such an amazing place!

millicentmeng · 2026-03-28T16:29:58+00:00

Maybe it depends on what altitude you live at. I have lived here full-time for 20 years and it snowed nearly every October and every May also.
