Dangerous - Part 2

After feeling progressively worse throughout the day, I got a sick appointment for this afternoon. The verdict..

I have concussion.

I also got a cat scan.  Thankfully it came out fine.  (Although I did learn it's not good when you hit your head and you don't get a knot.  Interesting.)

The doc also said it could take up to four weeks to feel back to normal.  Two days down. 

At least the countdown has started.

And with that jam packed, nausea filled day, I'm going to bed my friends. 

G'Night!

Dangerous

Here's a post to recognize that moment when you realize you're a hazard to yourself.

On Saturday evening after a full day of studying I went to put leftovers away in the fridge on the bottom shelf.  Simple enough task, right?  Apparently not for me.  When I went to stand up I banged the back of my head so incredibly hard on the bottom of the freezer (we have a freezer-top fridge) that it knocked me to the ground.  I cannot even begin to describe just how hard the impact was.  My head was so tender for hours after.  My head and neck still hurt but even more I have not stopped feeling naseous and dazed since.  Yesterday I was even more clumsy than normal and dropped about half of the stuff I touched.  I couldn't even focus to study for a minute - a day wasted I didn't have.

My husband and boss think I gave myself a concussion.  After looking at WebMD I might conceed to that theory.  Here's what I found:

What Is a Concussion? "...a concussion is most often caused by a sudden direct blow or bump to head..." - Check.

What Are the Signs of a Concussion? "confusion or feeling dazed; clumsiness; ...; nausea or vomiting; headache; ..." - Check, check, check, and check.

Considering it has been about 39 hours since I hit my head and I'm still feeling all of the same symptoms I may have a grade 2 concussion.  No fun.  I have refused to go to the doctor because I don't think there is anything they can do for a concussion but if these symptoms continue in full force I may have to.  Bleh.

In the meantime I guess I'll just be dependent on coffee while I'm at work, try focusing really hard to accomplish my to dos, and stay away from refridgerators.

Who knew I they could be so dangerous?

Happy Monday.
