Sheila, yes it is still hard. You wrote before how we settle for what is normally "bad" and think it s good because it has been so much worse for us! So true.

I wonder if they head banging is damaging, I wonder what is happening, and why, etc.

Oh! I think you think I am banging my head myself???? No, the head banging is like someone has walked up behind me/beside me (usually the right side of head) and just whacked me on the head with a piece of 4x2! It is that sudden, hard and hurts.

This drop, however, I can feel it is the same thing, but not as intense and doesn't hurt.
