Concussed

[gr@sshopper]

I Endoed pretty solidly on monday night.
At work Tuesday, the boss said that I was acting really confused, and my eyes were twitching all over. He sends me to the doc. Doc says I concussed myself, sets up XRays and CT scan for Wednesday, and says take it easy for the week.

Haven't heard anything about the tests yet, and the doc won't answer her phone.

Can I ride my bike yet?? What about running? Or is this a general, keep BP and pulse down for a while thing???

I'm going to be homicidal by saturday if I don't get some exercise!

Concussion is nothing to sneeze at. Spend some time on the trainer, just to be on the safe side. I've been there, and I know how you feel.

Sorry to hear about your endo. You certainly should not ride until you are cleared by the doc. The trainer if done easily would be OK. Same with running. Good Luck.

Take care of yourself, gr@sshopper.

Chris, I agree with the guys! Take it easy. If you must exercise, go for a walk, but don't do anything too serious. So sorry to hear. :(

So, shortly after posting, I started screaming at poor roomie. realizing that it's not her fault, I got on the bike and did 30 VERY CASUAL minutes. and I feel sooo much better. But I think that will be all for another few days.

As a side note, I've gotta say that I'm not going to San Antonio hospital again if I can help it. Not really confidence inspiring.

Sit around on the sofa in your underwear and eat a big block of cheese

That will definitely keep you off of the bike and out of the bathroom!

Sit around and let your brain heal.
