I went to the concussion clinic on Monday because I have been having frequent head aches and my mom was getting worried. Now the doctor I saw, he knows what he's doing. He is the concussion guy for all of the sports teams of Pittsburgh. So we saw him. He talked to us for a little bit . Then he took me to a room and put me on a computer where I took all kinds of tests. He then evaluated the results and here's what he told us...
My concussion was much worse than BroadReach suspected, and I should have been checked out...and sent home, right after it happened. But instead, I did extreme activity for two weeks and longer so my brain had absolutely no time to "mend" or "rest", so I'm paying for that now. I should not be still having head aches, and I should not feel so...well...spacey. He told me that certain things will probably be more difficult, and will continue to be ... if I don't give myself time to recooperate. How the hell am I supposed to do that with school on Monday? Luckily,I have all my easy classes first semester. So then the doctor told me what I shouldn't be doing. It would have been a shorter list if he told me what I could do. First off, I should not have gone to Slippery Rock. I should not have gone to bandcamp at the highschool and I will not be going anymore. I am not allowed to go to football games, soccer games, soccer practice, parades, anything too...self involving, till he gives me permission. I go back to see him in 3 weeks. Luckily, our first few football games are away :). It is also expected that I be more irritable, moody, stupid, bitchy, annoyed, quiet, nervous and all that fun stuff. He said he would be surprised if I wasn't. So sorry in advance. Plus, I wasn't allowed to go to Kennywood today. Nor out to lunch with one miss Rachel Mort. :( Oh well. Things could be way worse. ....The doctor also told me a couple more things that I would rather not discuss.
OK! There is the story, do not ask me about it.
Adam, you make me smile so wide. |
