I never post really short discussions here, but am in a hurry to head north this morning to spend the day with my daughter. She definitely got a concussion with that fall on her icy step, is not supposed to work until Monday and needs to avoid screens and even books. I might stay overnight.
The weather is in the 50s today with rain in the forecast, so no real problems there. I hope myLotters have a great day.

funny, they give you different thoughts on concussions. my dr just said if i am watching tv (or computer) and get tired, to listen to my body and stop. i'm sure it probably has slowed down my recovery... i find it hard to sit and do nothing. she's a lucky gal to have her dad come visit!

@JamesHxstatic It seems impossible for an active person to slow down, even when doctors tell us to do it.

She finds it difficult to do nothing too, worked for about an hour and half from home yesterday and had another migraine when she woke up at 4 AM. She wanted me to come back up, but even I am very tired today. I even fell asleep reading at 11 this morning. I would have been a hazard on the road.

@JamesHxstatic I'm delighted to hear from you and to know that you are alright. You did not stay long with your kiddo. Our weather has turned milder and sweeter- yay!! Take it easy.

There was heavy rain for about half the trip up, but not bad coming home, 2 hours each way.

@sallypup I was there from ten until 4:30, had lunch out, did a couple of (amazing for me) minor repairs and came home.

The drive up was a bit harrowing with heavy rain, but coming back was easier, very tired though.

I hope your daughter is better soon. That was some nasty fall she had on the icy steps. I"m sure she'll be happy to have you around and enjoy being pampered? (you are going to pamper her right)

I did that, @Marylinda, and did a couple of minor repairs too, but needed to come home. It was hard to leave.

I did walk that dog, fixed a couple of things (truly hard to believe for me) and got home about 7. She is supposed to be quiet and avoid "screens" and even reading. She is bored, but I was exhausted and needed to be at home.

@JamesHxstatic I would find it hard not to read or use the computer.

Hope she recovers quickly. Concussions are not fun.

It was not good. She is missing a lot of work too.
