rescheduled my day, as I already have pressure in my head, and still need to finish this assignment, AND attend class.
Happy I cancelled a meeting, although I feel badly for doing so.

Feb 24, 2012 - Slipped on a large puddle of ice at work, hitting the back of my head. No loss of consciousness, so I assumed I'd be back at work within a few days. I was wrong. When resting, symptoms are low. With exertion, I still suffer from fatigue, migraines, vision problems, problems thinking or reading, troubles sleeping, issues finding or getting words to my mouth when the headaches are bad, tinnitus, and thyroid issues which I think are due to the concussion. Seen one specialist, and now a few others through insurance review of my case. Hoping for further treatment. |

Thanks Mia.
Today I am exhausted after so much work yesterday, and a class that runs till almost ten pm, with an hour drive home... Was nearly midnight before I fell into bed... Not horrible, but makes for a tired girl today... and I can't even coast as I simply have too much to do... but it feels good to be up and moving and productive.
