Gypsy I don't think we have one, we used to, before we moved, but we are still unpacking and don't have it out yet. I appreciate your concern though <3
I told my doctor at the time I was pretty sure I had a concussion because I had all the symptoms that I was trained to look for. She did the neuro exam as well as an x-ray on my neck because I've been hit in the back of the head / neck and it turned out I had a reverse of the cervical curve on top of the concussion.
Well I have to go the light from the computer is starting to hurt, I'm going to set my alarm clock, and hopefully it's just dehydration, but I'm not going to knock the concussion out of the way
The calling wouldn't be a bad idea however your eyes may still dilate normally even when concussed. A doctor will normally perform a neurological exam such as balance, focus and just general movement to determine if you have a concussion. CTS and MRIs won't show anything unfortunately
That was my first and hopefully last concussion but I had issues with speech and reading for several months after I recovered. I was slurring or mispronouncing words during recovery and for a few months after that until I can get back to reading regularly
Fawn True, I think I'm going to try and get some sleep but set my alarm clock since it's extremely loud and I could hear it in my sisters room when it went off in the middle of the night with her one time, and I'll just set it for every hour >.>
I can't speak for Fawn, Wolf, but I am concerned enough to offer to call you every two hours tonight to wake you up, but without someone to check your eyes it may not be helpful. Fawn, thoughts?
It could be that but you did say that you got hit in the head yesterday and since you've had concussions in the past I wouldn't rule it out because you don't have to be hit hard or pass out to be concussed
Fawn I'm also not sure if it's a concussion though it could just be I didn't drink enough water when we were hauling tons of brush yesterday, and burning it, so it could be that as well
Even alarm is still risky because you're relying on yourself. My doctor wouldn't release me until I had someone that could stay with me and wake me up every hour
