Concussion

So, this past weekend at tryouts I got a concussion. An inexperienced flyer fell out of a stunt and when I went to catch her I got a shoulder to the left side of my head. I felt a sharp pain and then saw nothing but white for about 10 seconds afterwards. I knew that it was a bad hit to my head, but at first I honestly thought I was fine.... Until later that night when I had all the symptoms of a concussion: headache, dizziness, sensitivity to light and sound, inability to focus my eyes, and a foggy feeling. I kind of brushed it off and told myself I would be fine, but then Monday in class I realized that I was certainly not fine. On Tuesday I went to my trainer and he made me take the concussion test. Sure enough, I have a pretty bad one and so this past week has been hard. My head constantly hurts, I have a hard time focusing, my eyes are always blurry, and I am constantly tired. With this being the busiest time of the school year, I've felt so stressed and helpless. I'm hoping my symptoms go away soon, but with all this schoolwork and staring at the computer, I'm basically not healing at all, but I feel like I have no choice. I really wish there was something I could do to fix this, but my head hurts now just from looking at the computer to do this blog. Ugh.
