All we found out from the cat scan was that obviously what my husband had been saying for the last 45 years is that “you are one hard-headed woman!”. He always said “But I love ya anyway” after the hard-headed comment. What a guy. Janice

I recall when Yogi Barra was catching for the Yanks, when he took a pitch to the head. They took him to the hospital for x-rays. According to the radio announcer, "The x-rays found nothing."

Well, now I know what a concussion feels like – it hurts! Monday evening I fell in the house on our ceramic tile (hard stuff). My husband called 911 and they transported us to the hospital. I had passed out before I fell, so had nothing to brace the fall. Eddy was just a few steps behind me but couldn’t get to me in time to stop the fall. Anyway, I fell right on my face – huge bump immediately. The ER gave me an IV to put in meds for pain (!!!) and nausea. That helped quite a bit. Then they did a cat scan and found I had no broken bones. Doc’s were shocked, but pleased. I really do have a hard head! They then sent us back home and I have been very quiet ever since. Doc’s think I may have had vertigo. I look a lot like a raccoon - eyes really black and purple and forehead and bridge of nose really swollen. I am a mess, but relatively little pain for having such a concussion. Each day we are checking out the changes in shape and color in my face. Just thought I would keep you guys up with my adventures. Janice
