My wife got a concussion
We went rollerblading in a skatepark. She slipped and landed on the edge with her head.
Result:
Big giant bump or her head, a1.5 inch cut, short term memory loss (the first 20 minutes she asked me every 3 minutes where we were, why and what date it was) nausea and a headache.
Also I have to wake her up every hour this night. I'm not too excited about that but for her I'll walk to the moon. So I might be on here a couple of times thi night (your daytime...at least most of you.) it's going to be a loooong night.

Sorry to hear that Alex. Give her my wishes for a speedy recovery. Make sure you keep something cold on that bump even if it's just a wet rag which you air-dry to cool it off.

It's my nighttime too, so I'll be with you in spirit. That seriously sucks. By skatepark should I be thinking "park in which people skate" or should I be thinking "Tony Hawk?"

Your wife is a lucky woman.
I fell out of a tree when I was in 8th grade and landed on my head. I was concussed and had total amnesia for about 14 hrs, and retained no memory of the next 8 or so hours. I was lucky too, after a day or so I was pretty much ok, but I've had a ringing in my ears ever since.Last edited by mparker762; 11-20-2006 at 11:13 PM.

Sorry to hear that. Sometimes it's harder to get through when it's happened to a loved one instead of yourself. Don't you guys wear helmets though?

I know....one of the questions that she asked me was:"How long have we been married?" Now I can tell you that one had me worried for a little while.

Man, talk about a get out of jail free card!! When she starts asking this question when she HASN'T been hit on the head, then you're in trouble.
