Just when you think you're doing better
Reality comes and gives you a swift kick to the face. My mom invited me to go to this thing at church tonight. Some sort of worship thing. I honestly didn't want to go that much but figured I'd give it a shot. We thought it would be held in the main church. Wrong. It took place in the much, much smaller chapel.
About 10 minutes in they began with the music. I was already a little tight because the first speaker was echoing a bit. But that music was everywhere. I've gotten so much better with noise. I'm not wearing my earplugs at work anymore or anything like that. But even with plugs into I only lasted another 10 or 15 minutes. And I'm a wreck. Had to take an Ativan and everything. So much for being better.

What Happened: 3/6/14 I was leaning in to pick my phone off the floor of my car and hit my head on the door frame. No immediate problems but I woke up the following day with blurred vision, nausea, fogginess and memory issues. Headaches came the next day along with speech problems. CT scan was clear. Took a few weeks off work. Went back for half days for two weeks.
Then: 4/14/14 While still recovering from the first concussion I hit my head on the edge of my desk. Immediate headache, nausea and blurred vision. Doctor referred me to a neurologist who prescribed physical therapy for my neck, as I get incredibly stiff/sore necks daily which helps to bring on the headaches. Doctor also referred me to a counselor, who is helping me to cope with the anxiety and panic that has come up in my post concussion world. I deal with severe sensory problems and the frequent bout of aphasia.
And Then : 10/6/14 I was cleaning something (ok cat puke) up from underneath my new glass table when I stood up too fast right into it and voila, trauma #3. I was out of work for a month and a half this time. Noise problems, aphasia, etc.
