[QUOTE="AKmotorider, post: 212316, member: 1118"] Pharmacy tech? Funny, my roommate works at Geneva Woods, and I was looking into getting a part-time job there as a pharmacy tech. I currently work in optics as an optical lab tech, and have been for two years now. That's a shame she has suffered head injuries, especially on dirt. Even though I suffered an injury on the street that put me in a coma, I have never suffered a serious injury on the dirt, much less a serious brain injury. I've never gotten a concussion on the dirt at all. The only time I've gotten a concussion, which just so happened to make me momentarily lose consciousness, was while snowboarding. I've contemplated giving up motocross, i.e. the track, considerably since the accident, but it is so deeply ingrained in me that I'm just not sure it would be a smart thing for me to do, even if I could. I cannot presently imagine a life without motocross. The big jumps and racing make me feel alive. But at what cost? On a side note, interestingly enough, I haven't had a single headache since the injury. I used to get migraines as a child/teenager, but haven't had many as an adult, and they don't seem to have popped up since the injury, so that's good. I'm not sure why I haven't had any, though. I've had lots of other mental problems, like a really strange case of OCD and anxiety that isn't founded, along with minor short-term memory loss. [/QUOTE]
