Umm my head..
Okay yea we all know I fell and clonked my head last night from a fair distance...
Well today I still have a tad of a headache but im not dizy or anything. There is a bump where I clonked my head, on the back left side but the front of my head.. like the top of my forehead feels like its bruised but its not... Im thinking I have nothing to worry about and life will be grand tomorrow... I guess im just kind of looking for someone else to tell me the same thing? Im not dizzy, not nausus, weak or blah blah blah just a tad bit of a headache and that weird bruised feeling...

Re: Umm my head..
I would still go to the doc. I know that's not what you wanna hear. It's not what I would want to hear. Remember though, the SW-er that got hit on the head and it turned out to be a concussion? The world needs you around, Cally.

Re: Umm my head..
You'll be OK. As the emergency room doc told me after I wrecked my car & bounced my head off the windshield, "...If you were going to die from your injuries, you'd be dead by now."
I'd advise wearing a hat if you have a goose-egg bump....it's kind of a turn off.
EDIT: oh wait, you live in fair Canada, where the healthcare is free. Hell, go get checked out.

Re: Umm my head..
Where the health care is free and the waiting rooms of the emerg have like a 6 hour min wait... I figure its a minor concusion and i'll pop some more advil and sleep it off. I've had a few concusions before and the docs just tell you to sleep it off. Not much they can do for you. Its just this weird bruise feeling across my forehead thats bugging me... bleh

Re: Umm my head..
Definitely go to the doctors.

Re: Umm my head..
Go to the nearest clinic during work hours tomorrow (less of a wait).
Might as well...

Re: Umm my head..
Cally...... How ya feeling today? How's the head?

Re: Umm my head..
As a rule of thumb, if you didn't pass out when you hit your head, remember the entire incident, haven't been vomiting, aren't having difficulty walking, aren't repeating yourself over and over and are generally not acting goofy - you probably have at most a very minor concussion and do not require a head CT. If any of the above is true, you do need a head CT.

Re: Umm my head..
I agree with Scarlett: you're much better off going to an obscure community doctor's office. There will still be a wait, but much shorter. Get it checked out. Better to be safe, etc. Head injuries are spooky sometimes.

Re: Umm my head..
^^Ha, I'm so the opposite. My doctor just has me on a monthly schedule. She only prescribes me pills for thirty days so she can keep 'checking in'. She's like my second mom.
