    Default Hit my head...

    This is going to sound so retarded, but today at Uni I was sitting outside and there are these big umbrellas near where I was sitting, that stand on metal poles, and one fell over and hit me on the head. It hurt pretty bad, but I dunno, I didn't really react. Some guy came and pulled the pole off me but then just kind of left me so I guess I thought it wasn't a big deal.

    But now that I think of it, there were 2 different time periods when I was sitting in that same place. And I can't recall which time it was. And afterwards I was pretty nauseous and dizzy, and had trouble walking straight. Then I had an exam and I had trouble remembering a lot of stuff, then had to go to the library but basically...had trouble getting there. Like walking there was a huuuuge effort. Now just sitting here it's like...everything is offbalance.

    I'm starting to worry now that it might have been serious? Like it was a concussion or something? I don't know what happens to you if you get a concussion...

    I tried to see the doctor but all the doctors were booked out until Tuesday. I remember my friend got hit in the head once really hard and had a concussion and she spent the night in hospital being kept awake, she wasn't allowed to go to sleep for 24 hours after the concussion or something.

    Am I not meant to sleep? I don't know what to do!

    Did you go to the ER ? A concussion is nothing to play with ! I've had concussions before from car accidents, the Dr. always told me to have someone wake me every 2 hours if I did fall asleep. I still strongly suggest going to the ER, especially if you're dizzy and have trouble remembering things.

    Don't go to sleep until you go to the ER. If you have a concussion, you could have internal bleeding. It is my understanding after being in 3 car accidents, that if you go to sleep...well I am not going to try to scare you. It's probably nothing. But you don't know til you go to the ER and a concussion is SERIOUS.

    I went to the ER. I rang my sister who is pretty good at not overreacting at anything and she said I had to go get it checked out before I fell asleep. I had a concussion and they checked out my head and stuff, but said I should be ok, but if I didn't feel better today then I should go get checked up again.

    And they gave me a note for special consideration for the exam I sat!

    I'm alright. A bit headachey and I have to get a check up next week because I still have visual disturbances :/ basically when I look at something up close, and then look away, it's like my eyes don't match up and look different directions.

    But on an amusing note - when I went into the ER and the triage nurse asked me what was wrong (and they did not know my occupation), I say "I was at uni today and a pole fell on my head" and another nurse butts in and says "are you sure you weren't pole dancing and it snapped and hit you on the head?" they thought it was so hilarious, I was laughing also...but at the irony...
