Concussion?

So I have a moral to this post.....

When you park next to a truck that has an ATV hauler attached like this.....


.... make sure when you get out of your car, you remember it is there, and don't smack right into this....

Yep... that's right. I had a complete blonde moment when I parked next to a co-workers truck. I got out of my car, in a big hurry to get into work (who is ever in a big hurry to get into work anyway), and as I turned around to head into work... SMACK! I hit the right temple on my forehead right into this big, noticeable, metal thing. OUCH!

I kicked the tires and said a few choice words, trust me, those choice words made me feel better. I was rubbing my head as I entered into work, just feeling a small goose bump. But as the day progressed it just got worse. I started to feel dizzy and sick to my stomach. My friend told me my eyes were dilating all funny. I just laughed it off.... after all, who wants to admit to something so stupid. "Hello! Open your eyes!" That is all I kept telling myself.

My mild concussion kept me home from work the next day. It took 2 days after the incident to feel like my old self again.

You can guess I am not parking anywhere close to the black truck and I am doing much better of keeping my eyes open!

Sounds like something I'd do! But my story would probably have ended in stitches... Hope you get all better soon!

And ALWAYS take head injuries seriously ... that's another moral. Just a lecturing - I mean teaching - moment coming from an almost health care provider. ;) Man - that sounds like it hurt! Glad you're feeling a little better!
