Ow!

[wingedelf]

Continuing my spate of weird injuries, this morning presented one which may take the crown. We all have nice, stainless steel waterbottles. The adult ones have a capacity of just over 1.1 litres- 40 ounces.
We have somewhat makeshift bedside tables- one is a short bookcase, the other is a converted component stereo cabinet or something similar.

Did......did you give yourself concussion with a water bottle in bed?

Sir, you win the prize.

[wingedelf]

What can I say? I know how to live-painfully.

[who_is_she]

if I was you I"d be googling about head injuries, lol.
rest and take care until you are feeling better.

maybe take all the heavy things off the high shelf... eh?

[wingedelf]

I probably didn't get the bottle all the back after having a sip late last night, and just happened to be unfortunate enough to knock it over on myself.

Wow, that is an odd accident. I hope your head feels better very soon.

Note to Elf: Keep water bottles on lower shelves. Kthxbi.

*hugs* Sorry to hear you're not doing well. I know the insurance thing isn't happening, but ... concussion?

[lumiere]

Yes, concussion. Take care of yourself.

Call the doctor about any of the following situations. The doctor will recommend home care, set up an appointment to see the patient, or send the patient to a hospital's emergency department.

A person struck a hard object with the head (for example: tile floor, ice, bathtub) but did not lose consciousness

Mild dizziness or nausea after a head injury

Loss of memory of the event (amnesia) for just a few minutes

Mild headache with no vision disturbances


Symptoms of a concussion range from mild to severe and can last for hours, days, weeks, or even months. If you notice any symptoms of a concussion, contact your doctor
