I got a pretty good knock on the head yesterday.

I was knocked out for just a few seconds.  Saw stars.  My jaw was super sore.  My neck was stiff.  Had a terrible headache.  Sleepy but couldn’t sleep.  Nauseous and super, super dizzy.

Here it is…just a tad more than 24 hours since the incident and the room is still spinning.

So, I went to see my Doctor today.

She was concerned.

CT Scan.

Good news:  No fracture or bleeder.

Bad news:  Swelling and bruising.

Diagnosis:  Concussion.  Just a plain ol’ concussion.

Treatment:  No running for the rest of the week.  Keep very still.  Try not to move my head much.  Advil when needed. Go back Friday morning for checkup.

The treatment part is what gets me.  Only a few more serious weeks of training for the Chicago Marathon and I’m going to miss one full week of it.  This is bad.  I guess it could be worse so I’m not going to complain…at least, not too loud.    🙂

Take care, all!!!
