The good news is that the road rash on my forehead is pretty much healed (it's just a little pink). The stitches came out this past Monday, and it too is healing well. It's too early to tell if I'll have a scar, but it looks like if I do, it won't be a Frankenstein-Scare-The-Neighborhood-Kids type of scar. Which is probably for the best.
The bad news is that I'm still not right in the head. Heh. Yes, I know we all knew that. Apparently effects from a concussion can take 8-10 weeks to go away. I now know this because I went to the doctor yesterday afternoon. I'm unsteady on my feet (as evidenced by the numerous bruises on my arms and legs from walking into things), find it next to impossible to think on a level beyond 'boil water, add pasta' type level, am nauseous most of the time, and just want to curl up in a ball and sleep. Oh, and my face still hurts. A lot.
So, to make sure that these symptoms weren't an indication of something worse, I went to the doctor yesterday. He said he thinks I'm fine, I'm just going to be feeling like this for a number of weeks. Great. He did give me something stronger for the face pain (yay Tylenol with Codine!) and some other stuff for the dizziness and nausea. So far it seems to be working. I slept pretty well last night and my tummy hasn't bothered me so far today. Yay.
Now, if we can just get the thinking part working again it will be all sunshine and roses around here.
