Over the summer I barely did anything exciting, but I did get injured by getting a concussion. The way it happened may not sound serious but it was. I was home alone, so I have to lockup the house and close the curtains when the it gets dark. I get to my dining room where I close the curtains, but I quickly forgot that I had done so. I turned to see if I did and I confirmed it and quickly turn to leave out the doorway. That is when I ran into my dining room door because the door bounced back after I had left it open. I had no idea that it would be there and so I banged my head against the door. I rubbed my head and ignored it at first but then I realized it was much more serious than I thought.
I sat down and I blanked out. I was extremely overcome with exhaustion, and dizziness. I called my sister for help, because I was starting to worry. I was speaking in slurs and my head was hurting like it was bleeding, although it wasn't. My sister finally took me to the hospital.
I don't remember much but I do remember the long wait; during this wait I felt like I was dying. My sister said I kept saying I wanted to color, which is weird because when I'm stressed I color. When we finally see the doctor I was so tired and loopy. The doctor had asked me what my name was and I didn't remember. Instead I said other names like "Jenny", "Olivia", and "Omega". My family was really worried about me and so was I. How could I forget who I am? My sister said that while the doctor was talking to them I suddenly remembered and I shouted " I know it. I know it! ODETTE! ODETTE!"
The doctor then stated I'd be fine as long as I had some rest. My memory returned slowly but I had major headaches but nothing life threatening. I was happy that my memory came back because if I had completely forgotten everything I wouldn't be me and that is not what I would want.
That is crazy!!!!
