I just hope I'm the fun kind of fandom-insane. At this point in my life, I know I'm a freak...I just have to aim for being the "c'est chic" kind, rather than the "OMG, what is she ON?" kind. It's a thin line sometimes. Especially now that I have arrived on dkos enough to start bitching about what's Recommended, like everyone else who posts there who isn't famous enough to crash the servers by showing up.

Anne, I think I cross-posted with you, but I agree that those could be concussion symptoms.

Yeah, I'm really starting to think the Urgent Care doc missed something.

There's not much you can do for a concussion. You really just have to wait it out and not strain yourself during it. They generally feel like extended hangovers.

Sparky, any word on the flyer drama?

I haven't heard anything new, Vortex, and it hasn't made it to ATL.

I'm all anxious now! I am reminded of working in the courthouse where one of the judges was divorcing his wife, and she put up a bunch of flyers saying that he was a cheater, etc. And he was, because he divorced his wife to marry his law clerk. Yes, drama. and apparently, her hands weren't exactly clean, as she'd been having a long time affair with a police officer or something. It was very exciting.

Yep. And check your pupils occasionally to make sure they're the same size. My recollection is that the greatest danger is in the first 24 hrs (which is why they generally have someone wake you up every two hours the first night)(or they did 13 yrs ago). In random concussion consequences, I once had a bizarre and uncontrollable crying bout following a big bonk.

My most random consequence that I've had for more than one concussion is a difficulty remembering words starting with a hard "c" sound. Except "concussion." I always remembered that word.

And there was a bout of significantly enhanced smell.

The one concussion I had, I was unconscious for about 8 hours then woke up puking. That was fun.

EM got concussions twice while she was with me and I'd say she was uh, compromised for about six weeks in each case. She was out of it and forgetful and had a hard time concentrating and found it harder to articulate things.

The first time she knocked herself out was at a pet store. Emmett had run into the back storage area, and she'd run in to collect him. She stooped down to get him and as she stood up in the semi-dark storeroom she cracked her head on one of those big, metal circuit breaker boxes. Laid her right out.
