Did I just do that? When I was 15 an olive tree was planted in our yard to celebrate the birth of my child. On two sides of it were walking paths. As the tree grew tall one side had an overhanging branch and it kept getting thicker. Anyone five foot or taller would have to duck to go along the path on that side of the tree. Year after year even the people that knew it was there including me kept hitting their heads on that branch. So much pain over and over as each of us attempted not to complain about how much it hurt. Every time I hit my head I would say did I just do that? Because I knew that branch was there.
Two years ago, 30 years later I finally cut that branch off after I had really concussed myself. Did brain damage already received from the very first blow to the head from that branch keep me from cutting it off all this time? It still makes no sense.
Excepting pain and to not even complain about or do something to prevent it is as a pattern and it does not show we are tough just brain damaged.
