accident update

On Tuesday I was sent to the emergency room. I have a beyond horrible headache, no balance, spotting in my eyes, nausea, and loud noises and bright lights hurt my ears and eyes. I knew I had a concussion, however, I was unsure on how bad it actually was.

My friend Shannon, took me to the ER, as usual, I saw some strange people there. As we were pulling in, a girl was being escorted by two policemen, it was believed that she had a drug overdose, as one of the policemen had a bunch of prescription bottles in his hand.

They took me in and ran some basic tests. They then took me into the CT room, and for about 10 minutes I had to sit as still as I possibly could. It's not the first time I've had a CT so, I knew what went on, and how still I had to sit, but it was still hard, all I wanted to do, is get rid of the pain in my head. The CT scans came out okay, meaning my head wasn't bleeding on the inside or anything. The doctor finally came in after about 2 hours and finally ran some tests on me.

He made me preform some standardized Concussion tests. I was at that moment diagonsed with a Grade 3 Concussion(aka. the worst). He sent me home with a prescription for painkillers, and told me to get a ton of rest, and try not to use my brain, just let it heal; but as a college student, how often can you not use your brain...never! I am still in pain and my head is still spinning, but it's getting better slowly everyday.
