Nasty bugger! Went on a cruise the day after I got hit by a Taxi in stockholm... Only time in me LIFE that I was ever sea sick (well, except for that time when I was pregnant). It was the weirdest thing, I swear I could FEEL in me head every time the rudder moved. I finally threw up and that fixed everything. Headache was gone, rudder moving was gone and back to solid as a rock on the ocean! KEWL! They don't want you going to sleep immediately after a fall because if you have a MAJOR concussion it can lead to a coma... mild concussions are uncomfy but mainly that's all. Not a doctor, don't want to be a doctor and am making no doctor type claims. The above has not been approved by the FDA, the FTC, the AMA or any other body anywhere. K Cheers!

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Hey everyone! Just a quick request for prayers (for those who say them...good thoughts and well wishes for those don't) for ME... It seems I don't bounce as good as I used to....I took a fall off of the top step of my little kitchen ladder and now have a mild concussion....boy does my head hurt! I just got back from the ER...the doctor there prescribed Darvocet for me...but that raises big flags in me...I thought if you had a head trauma, you shouldn't take something that would make you sleep. The doctor said it was fine to take, but I'm not so sure how much I trust doctors these days. If anyone has any comments on this matter, I would sure appreciate it. Take care everyone & thanks in advance for all the positive energy! Love, Kati Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Hi Kati, Sorry about your fall. Will say a prayer for you. Sure hope your feeling better real soon. If you would take a pain pill, I would make sure someone was there to wake you up every hour or 2 to ask you questions. Just to make sure.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Hiya Kati, Feel better soon!!!!! And don't worry, the meds which sill make you rest should be safe. Rest, for a minor concussion, after getting checked out, is probably the best medicine of all *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Kati Toney [tktoney] Thursday, February 12, 2004 7:01 PM Prayer request...
