Update on my accidental fall

Tweet

I posted about how I fell flat on my back on a concrete patio last week. I appreciated all the kind wishes and am so thankful to God that I didn't break any bones. I really should have gone to the doctor the next day, though, especially since I was vomiting during the night. But I just thought I'd be okay, since nothing seemed to be broken. I was awfully sore all over, of course, but didn't let that slow me down too much. I worked two days later and did mostly all I needed to do. I started feeling like I was going to pass out and was so tired and spacey feeling. I finally decided to see my doctor on day five. I also developed a terrible headache. He ordered a CT scan of my head to be sure I didn't have a brain bleed and praise God, it was normal. But he said I most likely have a concussion, even though my head didn't hit the pavement. That's why I'm so weak and tired and faint feeling. He said it may take a month or so to recover and in the mean time to try to rest and don't do anything that takes a lot of focus or concentration. I guess my brain got bounced around in my skull and needs to settle down. Just hope I have a few brain cells left!
