1 Week

It's been one week since the accident. Ironically today is the worst day I've had in a while. My head is throbbing to the point where it's difficult to keep my eyes open. I just woke up from a 2 hour nap and I'm contemplating walking around with my eyes closed and turning my Doberman into a seeing eye dog. Perhaps not such a good idea... but it's an option I suppose.

I went to lunch with my boyfriend, Phil, and his sister today. Before it was over I was leaning on his shoulder half asleep. How rude! I couldn't believe I was acting like that and so tired. I could only eat about half of my spinach salad without wanting to regurgitate.

The best part? My attitude SUCKS today. I'm cranky and whiny and, quite frankly, I don't care. For anyone who has never had a concussion, I wouldn't wish it on anyone in this entire world, but if only they could experience it for 24 hours it would help you understand why only a week out I am struggling so much.

There is a girl who I actually met at my old job because she has concussion symptoms over a year out from her trauma and we ironically go to the same church. We've been in touch, as we both feel like we are the only one's who understand what it's like... it's nice to know I'm not. I mean, really, I wish she would get better and I"m sure she wishes me the same, but in the mean time we can totally use this as a blessing in disguise.

In not focusing on my stupid headache, an update on my sister. She had her baby yesterday, he is 5 lb 10oz (a lot bigger than we were expecting!). He's doing well but has to have some chromosome testing done. It looks like the left side of his heart is small and there are some issues going on but no immediate surgery is needed, which is awesome!!! I'm trying to focus on the little guy. I'll get to see him on Saturday.

The worst thing is that I don't have a ride anywhere so I have to ask everyone to come get me right now. It shouldn't be too bad as the hospital is only about 5 minutes from my house but it's hard to rely on other people. In fact, I probably shouldn't be driving at the moment... well at least today... my balance has been terrible today. I almost fell in the bathroom and in the shower, I'm walking a little wobbly and my eyes are shifting rather slow.

But hey, nothing says I can't take another nap. I've been up for a solid 20 minutes... which means it's about time! Here's praying tomorrow is a better day all :)
