2 Weeks Ago


I hit my forehead pretty hard against the countertop 2 weeks ago. It happened on a Saturday that both of my parents were working and I was putting something away underneath the sink. And before I knew it my head collided with the countertop/sink. Since than I haven't been normal. I felt okay after I hit my head but than the next day came and I felt yucky I felt weird I felt like something wasn't normal and I had a hard time sleeping id dose off and keep waking up and keep falling asleep finally I was able to get a good nap in after all that. I took some aspirin more like ibuprofen and kept reading stories online what to do with a mild concussion I honestly didn't know what to do and what other people did when they had mild concussions. I started feeling better and thought well maybe it wasn't anything and than last Saturday it hit. I got this massive headache that hit me pretty good woke up with it and just thought maybe cause it was my time of the month and usually that happens having a headache on the first day. I shook it off took some ibuprofen and went on with my daily things that I did and I slept it off and everything and it wouldn't go away it stayed through out the week so far its been almost one week since I had this headache its made me feel so hopeless I've been trying to find answers what to do with a concussion and a headache at first the headaches weren't to bad but as the week went by the stronger the more severe my headache became. I felt like I didn't want to do anything I haven't been in the mood to really enjoy anything I don't blame myself its hard to enjoy something fun when you got a headache and all that is on your mind is the pain and headache that won't go away. I've been a sleepy girl lately cause sleep is like the only thing that can take away the headache that's until I wake up again and its back. But than again I can't sleep all day and all night I have things to do I just cant sleep through it all I don't need to develop a sleeping problem . But I have no idea what's going on and my dad thought I might of bruised it. So when I kept complaining about what was wrong with me my dad finally gave up and said you know maybe its time to have it checked out and see whats happening. He thought I may of tightened my neck muscles when that happened but when he checked there was no sign of tight muscles. So he said we will have to get you into a doctor when I get paid. And my mom wouldn't want to believe that I hit it pretty hard it wasn't just a hit and i'm fine it was a hit. It could of been worse I could of blacked out on the kitchen floor and I wouldn't be able to yell for help and of course all Paul would do is freak out and not know what to do. So finally I told my mom the story of what happened I said look it wasn't just some hit and I feel fine after words it was a pretty hard hit. I wish I could of avoided it but it just happened to fast.
So I haven't gotten any better since than I felt really weird and just trying to cope with it and its like I have a hard time thinking i'm not thinking as normal as I used to my memory is kind of messed up right now and I can't remember certain things since this happened. I know I understand my parents we don't have insurance its going to kill paying for a doctors visit. My mom kept saying oh she will be fine it will pass. My dad said its been 2 weeks 2 weeks. Its a head injury you don't mess with those. You really don't you don't wanna take a chance and ignore it. It could be something serious and it could damage the brain. Something is going on with her and she can feel it and obviously it isn't gonna get any better. Honestly it hasn't I just keep feeling more worse and I also hit my head in the shower by accident both are accidents but when I bumped my head in the shower it wasn't that hard just a hit and I started feeling really dizzy after that. So finally we gave in and called the doctors office on Wednesday but couldn't get me into see my doctor cause he's booked he's freaking busy so now I gotta go to Urgent care and see a doctor there. I was supposed to go today but no some things ended up happening my parents got in an argument over it and she said well I want her to try Tylenol extra strength. So my mom got me that and I tried it twice today it helped but I still feel like there is something going on and it doesn't feel right. So tomorrow I'm gonna go see a doctor at urgent care and see if we can find out whats happening and see if there is away of getting rid of this annoying headache that I badly wanna get rid of. I'd hate to live the rest of my life knowing that I hit my head and that I keep getting headaches like this. I really hope we find out whats going on with my head.
