I think I might have a third
Last night I was down on the floor cleaning up cat vomit and when I stood up I cracked the back/top of my head on the bottom of my dining room table (damn thing is new so I'm not accustomed to it plus it's glass [thick glass at that] so it's clear so I didn't see it). I had a bit of a headache last night, not to mention some severe neck pain (which I'd actually been dealing with all day) and fell asleep at around 9. Woke up today with a nasty headache and I can't tell if I'm foggy or if I'm just tired. I'm just really scared of having another one because, among the other obvious reasons, working retail our busiest time is coming up and while work has been blessedly willing to work with me I'm worried they're going tolose patience with me.

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.
