Concussion

[Brackis]

Just got back... Did a ctscan and all that stuff and found no injuries. I puked more at the hospital, they strapped me to an IV which included some anti-nausea stuff.
Head still hurts a bit but way way less than before...
I'll post a pic of the little vomit baggy they gave me tomorrow if ppl want anti-shens proof.

Thank you all for your concern, and if I had to do it all over again I'd still have gone to the Hospital. Better safe than sorry.

don't go to sleep, you might not wake up.

OP, this is no joke. There are way too many recorded cases where concussion victims went to sleep it off...and never woke up. Do not take this lightly.

Don't sleep or you'll die.

Is this your first concussion?

I've had 4 from hitting stuff while skiing, I normally take some Ibuprofen and sit on my ass until I feel better.

4! Ever thought of quitting?

I've at least given up on jumps, I'm not good at them, and I got one mild concussion from screwing up the landing.

But I still do glades skiing (got two concussions from this), and I still race (the reason for my 4th concussion).

Correct... Thanks you again for the concern, my initial post has been updated after a brief hospital visit.

Good to hear. Never mess around with head injuries, especially when you're showing even mild symptoms of a concussion. As I understand it, sometimes your body's response is swelling of the brain in the area of the injury, which can cause additional and potentially significant problems.

Well I went to a Habitat for Humanity event on 5 hours sleep after the Hospital, and guess what... fvcking clearing trees and putting them in a chipper and the moron running the chainsaw cuts one behind me while I'm moving a tree with ppl and it lands on me. I was okay, but for a second I was like, "ughhhhhhhhh not again."
