Let me just say I would NEVER knowingly abandon the Herd Headbutts on game day.. I'm just about to get ready to head out for a cardiology appt and will write more later.. I've been in the hospital since Sunday night.. I did copy/pasted a bit of an email I sent a good friend ( Lions fan - can't be THAT good of a friend, huh? Lol).. which will explain most.. I'll fill in the blanks after my appt..
First responders were called Sunsay night and I hadn't been doing very well.. the night before I had thrown up about 16 times, gotten up to pee, immediately fell straight down and full source with the vanity with my nost.. There was blood everywhere and in my somewhat vegetative state, I was having hell trying to contain it and clean it.. I immediately went back to bed an hour later.. I was eventually able to watch the RAMS game, but just never got up and for some reason I just couldn't for the life of me, get tha stupid ONE remote button to work to turn the game on.. It never even crossed my mind to do the Headbutt on what was the biggest game of the year.. when Sirkicksalot missed the field goal to win it I DID jump up and down..
Anyways, I was trying to wave off the first responders who were asking me something PRETTY tough questions, such as what month it was and when is my birthday and what was 4 plus 5 (I said " without paper?" I'm a math sevant and can do complext math equations in my head, but 4 plus 5 was just evil - that clearly wasn't fair.. As hard as I tried, I stood there and started to answer all their questions and after him-hawing around, despairetly trying to come up with answers, my head just went blank.. on what month it was.. It was so weird.... I couldn't come up with the answers.. I didn't wanna go with them, but I didn't have a choice..
I was sitting in the holding room and they kept asking me my full name and DOB and I kept repeating those answers over and over in my head because if I didn't, I would forget my name and DOB.. It was soooo weird.. Because normally you're asked those questions and they're ingrained in permanent memory - you don't have to think about it, but Inwas sweating bullets repeating those answers over andbover in my head.. When I figured October was my birth month, it helped me remember the current month was November, I lierately couln't remember it was November....
Pretty pathetic, huh?
Had it not happened to me I would have never thought it possible. They thought I had a stroke, but concussion sounded more plausible to me.. I had quite a bit of SEVERE pain right between my eyes before this all happened.. pain so severe it took me to my knee about 15 times...
The next morning (Monday) I woke up after about an hour of sleep and everything was fine.. I didn't have to keep memorizing my name and DOB.. but, the ball was in motion and I had every test known to man done - only to find out I was fine had no concession or stroke.. They decided to release me Tuesday..
Thank you for checking in on me.. I did wonder what would happen if I just got up and walked out of the hospital.. I'll tell you when I knew I was ok afternI get back from my appt..
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
