w..w..w..w.......wrong!

Far be it from me to not be right.  I prefer to not be right rather than wwwwwwrong.

As usual Dr. Cushie knows everything and therefore chose not to go to the doctor after hitting the wall with the head.  I know that people with concussion vomit.  I did not vomit, ergo, I did not have concussion.  I should have realized that the dizziness, nausea and sleepiness were slight hints about whether or not I had concussion.

Finally, today I went to the doctor.  He gently rotated my head and listened to the Anvil Chorus of vertebrae all protesting their treatment.  He gave me the old pre-senile speech.  You know, "Old person, comes with age, be careful, rah rah rah."  He also said that if I don't feel better I should get an x-ray.  Seeing that it has been about five days since I played crash bang with the wall I would imagine that I should have started to feel better by now.   The child of my loins was cross because she would have said to have the x-ray done straight away.  I am not feeling my intellectual best at the moment so I didn't question the doctor's decision.  I will give it a couple more days and then drop in the either see him again or go to my usual doctor.

Never mind I have anti nausea tablets, pain killers and anti-inflammatory tablets.  I have my trusty wheat bag and plenty of time to spend in bed.  I am now at the age when if the doctor says go to bed and rest I do.  Good on him I say.

So folks I do have concussion, I was wwwwwrong.  God I hate saying that!  I will try to avoid my doctoral skills, (I have none) and take notice of my daughter and friends.   W..w...w...w...wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
