Ever had a concussion?
 

Two nights ago I got up to take a whiz at 2:00 AM and stepped on a tennis ball that one of the two dogs decided to leave next to my bed after I'd fallen asleep.

Ended up knocking over my rolling laptop table using my forehead. Pitch black, lying on the floor with the table, my PC, one of my guitars, and a fan laying on top of me while I'm seeing stars and have blood running down my face.

Yesterday was pretty much the immediate shock of it all. Today sucked. My skull hurts like hell, I'm dizzy, nausious, unsteady, massive headache all day, and this morning it took me about 2 hours to do some work that normally I'd get done in 30 minutes.

Not my first, but a concussion in your 20s is not the same as one in your latter 50s.

Shit! That sounds painful. You going to be alright? Careful with those, with all the news happening over these concussions with the NFL, WWE, and some other companies they're a huge issue.

Go see a doctor.

And feel better.

*nauseated

^This.

There's really not much a doctor can do. It's all about rest, reduced mental strain, (and here I am on MB :D), and taking everything very SLOW!!!! Naps are the best possible RX at this point.

The doctor is more for preventive purposes than treatment. Haven't you ever heard stories about people suddenly passing from that kind of stuff? Concussions should not be taken lightly.

I get it. It's tough only having one car and Linda having to use it most of the time to earn minimum wages to help help us get by.

I'm good.

(if I pass I will creep the **** out of you DWV pretty much 24/7)

Aww man, life's rough.

Get well soon, Chula. Make sure to recluse yourself from any heavy lifting.

This, all the best Chules mate.

:laughing:
Didn't know you had any fans! :laughing: Hope she was pretty.

Seriously, take the advice Chula. I had a concussion once in my life - got my head kicked in in probably my only fight - and ended up in hospital. They insisted on keeping me and my mate in overnight, telling us that once you had passed out they would not take any chances. These things can hit you back when you least expect it so yeah, see the doc. Now.

I've never had a concussion lads.

I've had two from fights I lost. If it's bad enough your brain can swell.

Never had a concussion myself (knock on wood) but one of my friends has had three. He's been told that if he suffers one more, he'll likely have permanent brain damage.

Best wishes for recovery, Chula.

I fainted during Pink Lady Lemonade (I think it was because I was standing for too long with my legs locked) and probably gave myself a concussion. Everything became stars and I fell forward into some people who pushed me back, at which point I stiffened up like a plank, fell backwards, and hit my head. My friend said that I was lying there seizing a bit, so him and a few other people pulled me out and put me on a bench. I chose to walk it off after 10 minutes of resting and drinking water. We got lost on the way to the car, had to wait for an hour and a half for my ride's AAA service to come (locked the keys in the trunk and was to close to showtime to take care of it then) before a 2 hour ride home. I was pretty confused that whole night and the next day I felt incredibly weak. My friend decided to stay at my college with me for a few days longer than he had planned to make sure that I was alright. Felt back to normal after three days but still should've seen a doctor. I've been a dick ever since.

Like what you said in the OP though, a concussion at 50 is far different from one at 19. See a doctor for sure.

That's why you should go have it looked at. I recommend going to the ER. If your brain starts to swell they can address that in a hospital. They can prevent permanent damage.

I saw that happen to a few people in the Army while standing at attention for long periods. You have to keep your knees bent a little or you cut off circulation.

Rub some dirt on it.

Nah man. Head injury is no joke.

Unless she bites down. Then it's hilarious.

If that's really you in your avatar I don't think you know much about getting your dick sucked.

Care to help me out with that, sweetie?

aww <3

**** you, cocksucker.

You ain't know nothin bout cocksuckers

Ugly

Didn't you also **** your pants?

I dunno: I reckon he's sucked his fair share in his lifetime.

I pissed myself. I thought I'd mentioned it, good catch.

.

I wouldn't put my precious in that disgusting grill.

haha

I can confirm this:

Holy Moly. All of a sudden I feel much better.

(not really)

Didn't say he sucked yours. There are other dicks, you know... Of course, your standards would have to be phenomenally low, but then, takes all sorts.

I take a nap and when I come back everyone wants me to suck their dick.

You're still dreaming.

If I was still dreaming you'd be sucking my dick.

can we rewind to the part where TH got in a fight

i bet it all started when somebody told him Genesis sucks

Why am I not surprised that TH got his **** wrecked in a fight?
