Stupidest way to get a concussion ever

I don't know for sure if what I did last night resulted in my fourth (yes, fourth) concussion or not. As I'm still dizzy, it's possible, but friggin' ridiculous, even with the knowledge that subsequent concussions are easier to sustain...

Ok, here's the story. I work retail. Last night I was supposed to be working in photo but the front cashier called in sick, so I had to be up front. There's a peg by the trash can that we use to hold our various keys. So at about 9:15 last night, I was gathering up the trash from another register when a customer came up to the main one, wanting to get rung up. Trash bag still in hand, I went over and started ringing him up one-handed. I bent down to set down the trash bag, and my forehead made contact with the tip of that friggin' peg. Cue pain going ZING right through my head. I didn't make a sound. I just stood back up and continued helping the customer, albeit rubbing my forehead.

My head hurt the rest of the evening -- my whole head, not just the spot I hit. Tylenol didn't really help. And this morning I am dizzy and a titch nauseous, though eating helps with that. The spot I hit doesn't hurt unless I touch it, then my forehead starts throbbing a little.

See? Friggin' ridiculous. Stupid. And completely true.

That peg fucked you up, son. Schedule a rematch.

only 4th? weak, i'm up to 7.

I am a girl ;)

Yeah, I can imagine the rematch... "THIS'LL TEACH YOU -- *smack* ow -- TO MESS WITH -- *wack* yow -- THE LIKES OF MEEEEE--ok that hurts..."

Round edges hurt a lot more than you think! (obviously)

Schedule a doctors appointment, and ibuprofen is good. I've had several concussions also. The first time I had one I was dizzy and had a headache for the longest time, and it was hard to use my body because it felt so weak. On the way to the hospital I was chuking up a storm. I also wanted to fall asleep and had to be yelled at and prodded to be kept awake. When I got to the hospital they gave me a CT scan, confirmed (-_-) a concussion; and after that, I just remember being told to not sleep until that night. They told my dad to wake me up in the middle of the night to test my memory and to see if I was still alive (<-- lol, idunno) or something.

I made myself stay up till 2 AM last night just to make sure it wasn't too serious. Every time I lay down to rest my head today I can feel myself start to doze off. I work again tonight, hopefully I can get through the shift w/o too much of a problem. Just as long as I'm not stuck up front again (for other reasons besides the stupid peg).

Never had such thing. Sounds bad.

Plenty of rest is a good thing after the first day, and you're going to need a lot of it for a day or two. During the day, not just at night. You need to let your head and body recover, and sleep helps that well.

"stupidest"... really?

You should Rest

I was walking past the freezer at my place of work last week when someone kicked the door open and it hit me in the head.

Needless to say, I manned up and ate the pain for breakfast.

I got a concussion attempting a backflip...

Much like this guy...

Ok, I got one that's stupider. I was at a wal-mart while I was hiking across the country. I bent down to pick up one of those cheap bags of cereal. while I was hunched the woman stocking shelves next to me had nudged the cart she had all the food stuffs on. When I stood up the handle bar of the cart was suddenly right above my head. I was a little stunned but there was no concussion, so I didn't sue. Hurt like a bitch though.

lol just got to say be a ninja, aware of everything around u or just be careful

I probably have you beat on stupid injuries. I broke my leg when a little old lady walked out into the middle of the street, while I bailed from a I was on a Moped I owned back when I was in high school. I shouted "WHAT THE FUCKING HELL YOU STUPID WRINKLY OLD BITCH!" The Crossing light was red, and the light for me was green. She then said "It's your own damn fault you should have been paying attention." Paramedics and police arrived, I got fined for foul language, and she got fined for Illegal crossing, and my parents sued her to pay for my ER Bill, because she walked out in front of me. Needless to say that was the end of my Mopeding. I still wish I had that thing, getting around here is a bitch sometimes.

Are you in america?

That reminds me of my first (and only) concussion at the age of twelve. I was reading in the playground and my then frenemy, Roger, fired a football at me, the resulting injury left a minor concussion, and not knowing I had it, I fell asleep that night and slipped into a three day coma. The last time I ever read outside.

Yes and the fine was actually for Disturbing the Peace but I think there was quite a few people(one of which happened to be a bike patrol officer that sorted everything out), who herd me shout "what the fucking hell?" and call the old lady a "stupid wrinkly old bitch"

Ok, I got through my shift at work...although I was up front AGAIN because the same girl called in sick, AGAIN (her third day in a row calling in). Ugh. Yes, I avoided hitting it again.

I feel ok, I guess, but y'know what would make me feel better? If Nikon would get done editing the Clannad doujin I finished translating last week ;D
