Concussion?

I'm beginning to think I have a concussion after slamming head first into glass (that I didn't realize was glass) on July 4th. (I described my scary incident here.)

What other way can you explain my horrific headaches (we're talking BAD!), a need to ice my head every few hours (that really helps!) and a fuzziness in the back of my head? Oh, and some cognitive stuff.

Again, thanks for your many kind wishes.

Also, thanks for those of you who sent your ideas, insights, etc. Per the blood sugar control question, my blood sugar was well managed. (I learned my lesson back in 1998, when I kicked sugar so I had eaten a healthy snack a few minutes before bopping my head into the glass.)

The large window just had no sticker on it! I didn't know it was glass! As one reader wrote, it was Glass Shock! (Not Sugar Shock!)

I'm off to get rest (head is begging for a pillow) or get medical help. And I'm off to get an MRI later.

Thanks to this site for the cartoon.

Again, I have to remember — I am soo thankful that I'm alive!

For what are you grateful?

Have you had a frightening incident such as mine? What happened?
