If it happens again, I know what to do - call ER or the doc’s office.
Could be a one-time thing, but I seem to beat odds.

Janice,
I think you have has enough of an adventure for now! Are the doctors concerned
about the vertigo? Take care & get better.

Hey Guys!
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
