Clutz

Well, I gave myself a mild concussion. Not a pretty story and no, I did not get it playing soccer. I wish. So the story goes like this: I was in the kitchen and spilled some fish juice on the floor. I got a paper towel and went to look for the spill by bending over at the waist at a 90 degree angle. At that angle, I began walking forward looking at the floor but I wasn't watching where I was walking and I walked right into the countertop. Yes, the top of my head hit smack into the lip of the granite countertop. I didn't think I hit it that hard, but it did hurt. I stood there for a minute and then regrouped to find the spill. Once I cleaned it up, Jonathan wanted me to lay on the floor with him so I did and the room began spinning. I didn't think much of it and thought that it was to be expected considering I had just hit my head. Later that night, I started feeling a bit dizzy and off. The next morning, I still felt funny so I went to the doctor and she diagnosed me with a mild concussion. I feel pretty stupid since I am always telling the boys to watch where they are going and I didn't follow my own advice. I will be out of soccer until I am symptom free for at least 24 hours. At this point, I just hope I can be back in a few weeks time. I know that this means I will no longer be doing any headers considering the prior diagnosis of a split down the middle of my brain which was probably caused by doing too many headers to begin with
