Concussions SUCK!!

Ugh. I am such a DORK!! I smacked my head into a cement wall on Friday. Was at the movies with my hubby and while trying to get our illegal snacks out of my purse, my cell phone fell. Of course it was totally dark in there and I couldn't find it in my immediate vicinity so I had to wait till the movie was over. Luckily there was a helpful couple near us that offered the use of their flashlight phone app (my husband of course forgot his phone at home...). The dear man found my case that had popped up behind our seats. We were sitting in the back row of the theater and directly behind is a cement wall (I'm sure you see where I'm going with this... ) I was excited to see my case, sans phone but still a sign my phone must be near, that I bent down to get it and bam!  I hit the wall. In my defense, it was still dark in the theater but still.... We did find my phone so that's good news. I am still suffering from my stupidity 4 days later and I'm afraid it will haunt me for the rest of the week. Finally went to the Dr. yesterday who confirmed, yep, concussion. Although he wasn't too happy when I told him I finished my run after I got home from the theater. Ooops. It didn't really start hurting that much till the next day. Thanks be to the Lord that I don't have a bleed because I was also talking Advil which apparently increases bleeding. Another no no after a head injury. At least I'm learning some things out of this... Who knew just turning your head while driving or simply loading the dishwasher took so much movement? So no Zumba class for me this week. No running. No exercise at all for that matter. It's all I can do to get through the mornings getting my son out the door for school and then myself off to work. By the time I get home I need to lay down with the ice pack. Thank goodness for Advil, although that's not helping as much as I'd like. Dizzy. Check. Headache. Check. Tired. Check. Well that's my rant for today...

Thanks Faith!! I am slloooowwwllly getting better. Wish I had more patience. It's been a week now without exercise and I've not been doing well with my eating either. The scale is not going to be my friend tomorrow... Ugh. How are you doing??
