Concussion Upate...
Day 2:
I remember most of the things that have happened yesterday and today so far. I still joke around with people a lot and found out that I was rather jovial with the doctors in the hospital too. One Doctor came in to visit me and was asking me if I had any questions. I askd him what his social security number and bank account numbers were. He didn't want me to joke around and asked if I had any questions about my injury. Apparently being good humored was good, but not when the guy was trying to find out if I had brain damage. I still find the situation funny...
I remember everyones names(there are about 20), except for the people who came in this morning and can probably name off all the things I had to eat yesterday too. Sleeping a good 10 hours last night helped a bit I think. I was woried about sleeping because it felt like I was going to go into a relapse and not remember anything. The time between pittsburgh and yesterday morning felt like I was experiencing a vivid dream, and if someone said, yes you were asleep for the entire time, I' probably believe them. The passage of time has no real meaning to me, and I can't remember events for myself; I just have to rely on others to fill me in. So if I would go to sleep, things would pass and happen that I wouldn't know about. That thought frightened me and I really didn't want to go to sleep. I fought it, and finally gave in.
This morning I felt great...well, considering. My eye has turned a lovely shade of deep purple and maroon(I think I described it earlier as eggplant) It has started oozing down into my cheek a little and now my left eye has a little coloration to it. Both are ITCHY! It's driving me crazy. My stitches feel fine, just the itchy eye and a bit of a headache. My left arm hurts where I had my tetnis shot, and my right arm had an IV in it and is a little stiff. Other than that I'm alright. My Vicadin perscription is still sitting around somewhere, so if I need it I'm sure someone will drive me to the nearest drug store. There are plenty of others skiing right now so I'm sure they'll be put to use...
Alright, all for now. I'll update later.
