ow ow FARKING OW my HEAD i have bashed it - what should I do and sympathy too pls...

[CountessDracula]

I have had a vile vile virus all week

STarted to feel better tonight, went to let dog out about half an hour ago and tripped over a garden chair on the way back, totally fell over, no time to put hands out or anything and SMASHED my head on paving

And have hurt my knee and rib but my head is pounding

Dh rescued me and got me a cold pack thing, have had on my head for half an hour but as soon as I take it off it hurts like buggery. I seem to remember I shouldn't keep it on for too long (from when a bottle of wine dropped on my toe recently, I seem to remember they said that it was bad to keep cool pack on too long or am I hallucinating?)

Doesn't seem to be swelling too badly tho dh said it looked awful at first.

ARGH this is ALL i fucking need

dh says I should stay awake for at least an hour
am shattered

Poor you! Are you feeling dizzy at all?

This is about children but still applies

no not really

I felt very disorientated when I first did it briefly

(had had 3 glasses of wine so maybe just that )

No advice I'm afraid, but lots of sympathy.

sounds nasty. Yup, sympathy.

oh tha tis encouraging
Is not really in brain region more on side of head, eye socket/cheek bone (side thereof)

ow ow ow ow ow poor you. Grim.

it feels a bit throbbing and grazed

poo

so should I put cool pack on again?

Do stay up for a bit, in case you are concussed. Start a fight thread on MN

good plan

heheh

it is subsiding now (the pain)

my left hand is now hurting too so I guess I must have twatted that and all

poor darling girl....

a headbashing time all round.

horrible falling over, lots of shame (when I do it) you just feel stupid which adds to the pain levels ime.

My sister fell head first out of a taxi once (it was stationary) and the hospital gave her a little thing that said "Hello! I have a head injury!" and detailed what people should do if they found her in a heap on the pavement.

She was a drunken student, naturally and proudly displayed it on her halls door

Oh no. Can't you get the staff to tend to the dog? If you make the pre-dinner boozing on Friday, I'll buy you a nice drink to numb the pain.

i have no staff present
only dh watching MOTD

Oh you poor love

poor you - i have a history of falling flat on my face (i am just tall and clumsy), much sympathy..

oh well at least is on side of face
I could have a broken nose too I guess

see.

now you have two threads.

this nice lovely one

and a terrible rude potty mouthed one that will be deleted by me.

Sounds very painful, I hope you stop hurting soon!

no no
don't delete it
I need two pronged potty mouthed sympathy
