Debs,

I've had two concussions, one from a fall water skiing where I hit my head on

a submerged log and the other was during an alpine ski racing event. Both of

these were many, many years ago. Have you seen a doctor? You should see

a doctor for this.

Bed rest is recommended, with precautions made to see that the patient

doesn't go to sleep for any great length of time. Tylenol or Excedrin for the

head ache. If you have any spells of light headedness, severe fatigue, or

fever, you chould go to the hospital immediately

Please be careful, and report ANY unusual symptoms to a doctor.

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi

My Oh My, I have wondered about some of your postings sometimes LOL.

Also, just an FYI, " No matter how much fun and easy it might look like,

anyone over 40 shouldn't even think about getting on a skateboard. "

We heal too slowly to ever take that chance.
