I always laugh telling people how i got this injury, it is really so ridiculous that it is this serious.

We were in our back yard playing an april fools joke on my husband, my daughter shook up a soda and gave it to him. When he got sprayed he went into the house to dry off.

Then he locked us out. I had one of the kids toys in my hand and i went to the front door to see if it was open, my husband opened the door a little way, thinkin he was cute to say "hello, can i help you?"

For whatever reason, i accidently dropped the toy in my hand and i bent to pick it up, my hubby thought i was making a run at the door, so he slammed the door and the dead bolt him me pretty much in the temple of my head.

At the time i saw stars, didn't lose conscieiousness, and it didn't even hurt...the symptoms started like 12 hours later.


My 2 kiddos are 3 and 7.

Wow,

The lack of pain and no Loss of Consciousness (LOC) mean little. The fact that you saw stars is enough to know right away you suffered a concussion. The delay in symptoms is not uncommon.

You missed one question, though.

I asked how many kids you have. You said a 3 and 7 year old. The correct answer should have been a 3, 7 and a man sized and aged child. Most boys never grow up.

My best to you.

Look at this thread. It has lots of important details on it.
Things you wish you'd known when you first got post-concussion syndrome.
