Healing

I went backwards down a flight of steps yesterday. My head basically broke my fall and I have a minor concussion and a headache. That and some colourful bruises. Fortunately it was a small staircase.

I’m surprised given the tumble I didn’t break, but I’m okay and it’s a good time as any to slow down a bit.
I wasn’t knocked out, pupils remain equal and reactive, my colour was okay, no bumps or bleeding, no confusion, I had some initial dizziness of course, but there is no restlessness or heart rate and respiratory changes.
Just sore, and I notice I’m making more mistakes than usual, which makes sense for a few days after banging one’s head. I’m a bit drowsy, which is expected and I’ve made sure to let people around me know. Feeling stupid is a small price to pay, if I do have delayed symptoms they’ll make sure I get to the clinic.

Ouch! That’s frightening, I know. I hope you’ve got people who can spoil you a bit for a few days so that you don’t have to fight through the foggy moments alone. All the best.

So glad you are ok, relatively speaking. Best wishes for a quick recovery.

ar arr arrrr! The stairs are as grand as ever.

Thanks, I just want quiet - brief check ins are about as spoiled as I’m going to demand to be.

My nephew broke his radius and ulna playing football with his brothers, he needs a lot of spoiling this week.:^)

Ouch! Take it easy BD. Should you even be at a keyboard?

“My head basically broke my fall” surely isn’t the best of ways to land. I’m glad you’re not injured worse and will pray for your recovery.
