Hit my upper forehead on a sharp edge of a table yesterday

[raildogg]

I still have the red mark on the forehead along with a bit of a bump. I'm not feeling the best in the world in terms of mental sharpness - but that may be due to fatigue. There is some pain in the head though.

I'm thinking of waiting it out and see how it goes.

It's a brain cloud. Can I have your stuff?

 

[SandEagle]

is the table ok?

Sure, you asked nicely.

Time to make up an epic tale to explain the dent to your friends and coworkers.

Traumatic brain injury. Go see a doctor.

Wife's coworker fell and hit her head on the sidewalk and two weeks later, she had a stroke and is now in a coma. Make sure to monitor yourself (and have others monitor you too).

That is awful. May she come out of it OK.

I am feeling sluggish and have a slight headache near the area where I hit my head. I think I'll wait one more day and see how I feel.

Is there a place that I should go to? I don't have a personal doctor or anything like that.

Why did she fall?

 

[Engineer]

Why did she fall?

I don't know, sorry.

I would wait several more week before having a competent medical authority look at it just to make sure that if it is serious, you have a greater chance of suffering unrecoverable sequels.

But on a more serious note, did you lose conciousness, any vomiting, dizziness etc.

If so I would go to the emergency if I were you.

It's been on the news that after a severe head injury people can seem fine for a while and then end up dying. Go to the er NOW.

 

[raildogg]

Well, today I am not feeling too well. It could be some kind of sickness coming or something different.

I also have a worse headache today than yesterday. So I am going to a urgent care center in about an hour or so. Not sure if that is the best place to go but for the time being, it's where I am going.

Today, I am feeling very sluggish and very tired. I do feel slightly dizzy as well. Again, not sure of the reason so I am going to the urgent care. It could be an oncoming sickness or related to the head injury.

Appreciate the responses.

i was kidding about the table. urgent care is the right move. i probably would have went to ER instead, but that is just me.

 

[JManInPhoenix]

Definitely go to the ER asap - better safe than sorry.
