Hey guys. So it's been over a month since my latest head whack. I'll be heading back to work next week (thank God, I'm so bored and I need the money). I still get messed up when out in loud noises, fortunately after dealing with this crap for the better part of this year I know how to deal with this. I get pressure on the top right part of my head when I drive, I didn't have that the first two times, hopefully that will go away soon. And Black Friday is coming up and I'll likely be working 6am-6pm. I can't wait lol. Anyway just thought I'd check in here, I haven't been on the board in a while.

What Happened: 3/6/14 I was leaning in to pick my phone off the floor of my car and hit my head on the door frame. No immediate problems but I woke up the following day with blurred vision, nausea, fogginess and memory issues. Headaches came the next day along with speech problems. CT scan was clear. Took a few weeks off work. Went back for half days for two weeks. Then: 4/14/14 While still recovering from the first concussion I hit my head on the edge of my desk. Immediate headache, nausea and blurred vision. Doctor referred me to a neurologist who prescribed physical therapy for my neck, as I get incredibly stiff/sore necks daily which helps to bring on the headaches. Doctor also referred me to a counselor, who is helping me to cope with the anxiety and panic that has come up in my post concussion world. I deal with severe sensory problems and the frequent bout of aphasia. And Then : 10/6/14 I was cleaning something (ok cat puke) up from underneath my new glass table when I stood up too fast right into it and voila, trauma #3. I was out of work for a month and a half this time. Noise problems, aphasia, etc. |
