Jesse, IME, they would do a C-T scan, and send me home. I don't think I need a scan, especially since, at least so far, this wouldn't even rate in my top five worst head injuries.

Yeah, then I vote no. Stick with your friends and watch out, but really.

Take care of yourself, Amyth.

I am verklempt.

For some Friday silliness, Jimmy Fallon and Hugh Jackman have a Water War.

We've set up Amyth in a downstairs bedroom and have a checking schedule for the rest of the night set up. We discussed going to a clinic (or the French version), and it's still an option if needed. But the swelling has gone down significantly and it didn't bleed much, for a head wound. It still looks like it hurts like hell, though.

And if I have a seizure or start vomiting or feel out of it or anything, we'll totally go.

That sounds like a plan to me.

I had a migraine. Now I took meds and slept for an hour and a half, so I'm pain-free but loopy and groggy. And I have SO MUCH work to do. ARGH.

But I did finally manage to call my doctor and request a refill/change (my prescription was with a mail order pharmacy, and then my insurance changed and doesn't use that one, and I have been putting it off for weeks, and now I'm running out of everything!) And first I got a recorded "request a refill through your pharmacy and we'll do it thanks!" but when I called again and stayed on the line they were very nice and helpful, so yay. Though I should possibly not celebrate until I actually have the prescriptions.

Why isn't Hugh wearing the white shirt?

Which movie should I see this weekend? Real Steel or Drive? Apparently Real Steel isn't that bad, but it seems to be a movie about the kid more than the dad.

Man, the developer on this one project is still asking me a million questions like I manage him. I need room, bro. Room to breathe.

Whoops, wrong thread, moved to Technology..

Argh, buffisat types, stay safe! Or, failing that, heal fast!

Today it was sunny and then rainy and then hailed, and now is snowing big giant chunks of snow.

In theory, yes. In practice, I've had a bunch of them, thanks to my epilepsy, and this doesn't feel AS bad as many I've had. (I realize that sounds kinda ridic, but.)

It sounds redic in some ways but I know I couldn't have typed what you did when I was concussed. Well, I realized later I was concussed, but no way could I have typed that out during. So long as you are being checked, being careful and promise to go find medical care if there is an indication you need to, I am less freaked.

Amyth, yikes! Really glad you have trusted folks watching out for you.

I wanted to go see 50/50 but then I started crying when my co-worker was describing seeing it last week so I'm thinking I may have to pass on it.

ita, one mass is good, for sure. The period of not knowing exactly what was going to happen treatment-wise was really hard. There are a lot of options, which is good, but meant that for what seemed like a good long while we didn't know which of the three -- surgery, chemo, radiation -- were going to happen and in which order.
