Default Warning- minor 2nd bump can set you back

Like a lot of people whom read this board, I follow the threads and take out what I think is useful and reply where I can contribute.

One thing that is often mentioned is to avoid damaging you head again. OK I thought but fairly obvious. What I didn't take on board was how minor a bump can set you back.

Yesterday morning I saw my physio for the first time, she had a brief chat whilst she registered me. Then asked me to take a seat in the waiting area while she arranged the treatment room for me. As I sat down my head went back and clunk hit the back of my head on the arm of her weighing machine. Didn't hit it hard but it was enough to start my speech getting slurred and the fog to descend, clouding my thoughts.

The physio was shocked in the transformation of my speech and thinking ability within minutes.

I now find myself back in the same state I was months ago.

Please all heed this as warning that a further bump to the head - even minor can set you back
