What are you saying there? That someone dropped snap on her head when she was a baby?

DD - sure, I can see that. My brothers used to drop me head first on the concrete floor when I was a kid. I'll never forget that sound...a very deep echo-y thud.
We're pretty sure that this contributed to my current health problems, too. Well, and a neck that a chiropractor told me was full of osteoarthritis when I was 18 years old.
Neck pain sux. Hopefully the fact that they an see something on the x-ray will mean that they can do something to make you feel better!

Ain't brothers wonderful? I have a friend whose brothers used to get her to jump out of the upstairs window and convinced her she'd be fine as long as she landed on the target they'd painted on a sheet!
She never did break any bones that way, but she did take up skydiving as an adult.
