I wrote about busting my noodle last Saturday. The ER doc mashed around to see if there was a soft spot, glued the gash shut, and the staff gave me a wound care handout. I followed that scrupulously.
RESULT:
Small, weird headaches that came and went (allergies?), a little occasional nausea, some tiredness, lack of stamina to work at home after a day at work. A touch of brain fog. Woke up during the night a few times, every day since. No deal breakers, just a little off.
Until yesterday.
Ever get irritated when you lay down to sleep? I did. Brain fog was worse. Strange to have to work to think. Being on the inside of that was not easy. I never have to work at thinking.
Quick curbside doctor visit this am. I could get used to the nurses coming out to the truck to take my vitals and visit. Although it can't be comfortable being dressed in a Hefty bag. Quick field sobriety test, and I passed. Doc said "go home, no work today or next week." "REST, you should have been advised to take this week off to rest up after taking a shot to the head."
What a charlie foxtrot.
John was right, as we get older, minor injuries are a thing of the past.
Thanks for stopping by.
I have had more concussions than I can remember but do not ever recall a delayed reaction like what you are describing. That sounds a little serious to be honest. Take it easy for a few days if you can. Sounds like you really rang your own bell hard.
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil. I appreciate it.
DeleteRest up buddy. I'm sure your job has been running you ragged, too
ReplyDeleteI plan to. Man, this wasn't what I planned to be doing.
