A poignant piece from @jbienkahn. In quoting Mackay, he captures my yearning post-accident: "happiness lies in embracing the loves you always had and finding ways to do them in a different way,” @NewMobilityMag @ReeveFoundation @U2FP_CureSCI

I headed to Sauvie Island to watch Ian Mackay — who was paralyzed by a bike crash 14 years ago — break a world record. What I saw was a lot more than that. My latest for @SInow: si.com/sports-illustrated/20…

Classic COVID-19 symptoms may not be evidenced by older adults. Instead of fever, cough, shortness of breath, seniors may become excessively sleepy, confused, apathetic, or they may fall. "Atypical" symptoms are more common in this group. cnn.com/2020/04/23/health/se…
