I've done it again..
 

.this time real bad.
Took a hard hit to the head on monday 23dec.
Tuesday, very dizzy at times which had diminished prior.
Wednesday, Christmas, fatigued, nauseous and that dazed feeling. Same yesterday.

I'm 3.5 weeks into a 5 week break from work hoping to beat this PCS. Forget that I guess.

Very disappointed with myself for being careless. I'm my own worst enemy and it's so frustrating.
Have now hit my head at least 6 or 7 times since my concussion (28aug13), mostly minor until now. That's equal to the amount in the last 25 or 30 years years combined.
This latest accident on monday I reached for an item on a rack up against a mirrored wall and smashed my head hard on the mirror.

I'm not that clumsy. I'm thinking that these accidents could be the result of the original concussion. I've told doctors that I've experienced what I call visual processing problems since the 28aug accident. I've bumped into things at work, cannot "read greens" golfing, etc.

Any ideas on how to deal with this embarrassing problem? It's almost like I have to be on constant alert to any potential dangers because my regular defenses are not working properly.
Am I the only idiot out there doing this?

Should I go get this latest accident checked out? My gut says no but I've read that another concussion before the original has healed is very dangerous.

Happy days and thanks.
-----------------------
My symptoms since the accident on 28aug13 have been dizziness, nausea and head issues (pressure,ache,tingling). The last two months the dizziness has subsided and been replaced with the dazed, foggy feeling.
These are not constant, mostly when stressed or active.

Oops, I did it again. Been there done that. Face planted yesterday skiing. I know it was a mild concussion with whiplash and a torn-up shoulder to go on the side.

Second Impact Syndrome is very dangerous but would show signs such as an extreme head ache and other extreme symptoms. Does not sound like you are at risk.

You likely need to learn some new movement habits. Making movements quickly tends to cause motor control confusion. It helps to stop one movement before starting another. For example: Walk up to the shelf. Stop. Then, even after taking a breath, reach for the item on the shelf. This is especially important if you need to look up or turn and twist. It is like part of our bodies are lagging behind the others. When we stop, we allow the rest of the body to catch up. Then, with all our motor functions present, we start the next movement.

I learned this after anesthesia from surgery. It left me with motor control all out of timing. Now, I do this stop one movement before starting the next out of habit. When I rush a movement, I tend to have a higher risk of messing up.

This is a life skill that will prevent lots of bumps and bruises.

Hope it helps.

My best to you.
