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

Rats. Maybe put the alarm clock really close to you?

I appreciate that but I don't have a phone :( My parents won't let me have one even though I'm driving and a Junior in High School lol

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

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?

All Breeds

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

Wolf Dancer

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

And unfortunately recovery time varies but the more concussions you suffer the longer it takes to heal.

All Breeds

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

When I suffered my concussion in 2021 it took five almost six weeks for me to be recovered enough to return to work. I was pretty much bedridden in the dark. No phone, TV, reading, bright light or driving to allow my brain the rest it needed to heal

Oh, do you think if I set my alarm for every hour or two that would be ok? Everyone else is asleep, and has been asleep for about 1hr 45 >>

All Breeds

11:43:33 Fawn

Wolf, yes. If you suffered a concussion sleeping is a risk regardless if it's the same day or a day after.

Is that risk of sleeping still possible the next day though? I got smacked in the head yesterday, and was as ok as I could be for the situation, but I woke up this morning with weird symptoms

And contrary to popular belief you don't need to be tackled or hit hard suffer a concussion. Even a slight jolt to the body can cause one that's why it's important to be checked out by a doctor and cleared before returning to school and extracurricular activities

@Wolf
Have someone flash a light in your eyes. If there is no reflex you have a concussion. Go to urgent care. If you go to sleep it could be even worse or you just don't wake up at all.

But I am a random voice on the internet so grain of salt.

Interesting, we'll see in the morning, I suppose I could just be really dehydrated as that happens to me a lot as well >> Or I could be getting sick like a bunch of other people >>

They can't diagnose it however they can bring it up to your parents who would be required to have you examined before returning to school since a concussion can affect your learning
