I was playing a game of indoor soccer last night. I got tripped while chasing down the ball and I ended up falling into the wall head first. I slammed into it pretty good. It didn't really hurt all that much when it happened. But by the time I got home I had a little bit of a headache. This morning I woke up with a nice bump on my left temple. I also had a sore wrist and my knee had a nice bruise. As the day went on I started to not be able to focus on things. I couldn't focus my eyes for more than a couple minutes. By noon I couldn't concentrate on anything and I was having a hard time thinking straight. It was really weird. I looked up the symptoms of a concussions and I had over half the symptoms. So I ended up coming home from work before I got to the point that I couldn't drive.
I have never had a concussion before. It is the weirdest feeling. I don't think I like it all that much. What is crazy is I have hit my head way harder than that before and not gotten a concussion. So why this time? I think the main thing is how I hit the wall. I hit it head first and straight on my temple. So I guess in all reality it could have been much worse. Good thing I have a VERY hard head. It comes from a lifetime of hitting my head on things.
