Unhappy I am frightened.

Hello,

I have played football with a bunch of guys for 11 yrs without an injury.

2 weeks ago I had my head slammed to the floor by two angry men.

I do not mb what happened but was told they ran at me full pelt whilst going for the ball.

However the force of two strong guys appx 26 stone worth, running me to the floor, knocked me out.

The pain in my neck is what I mb the most and being sick over and over.

Then came the lack of vision in left eye.

My husband said in hospital I went a little mad, throwing myself around with confusion and pain, the room spinning round n round.

CT was not clear but not a definite diagnosis apparently.
Xray clear for fractures.

In hospital for 5 days on morphine etc.

I thought returning home was an indication of improvement but just 5 days later and I am lying on the floor in my daughters bedroom unable to move from the pain and lack of balance.

Petrified I am rushed to hospital for another CT which this time I am told is clear.

Sent home with no info.

I am not stupid so I have researched post concussion, but this does not allay my fear........

Will I always have these sudden onsets of pain and loss of vision and balance and feel the room turning faster than a rollercoaster?

Will I be able to look after my daughter on my own again?

Will I be able to work again, drive, dance??

I know these symptoms may reduce in time, but I am so scared.

Can anyone reassure me?
