So this morning I'm standing in the kitchen feeding the cat and when I stood up completely I cracked my head over the cabinet above me. It bled and I was in pain, but I didn't want to scare the boys. I put an ice pack on it and took them to school. After about three hours at work I realized that this was probably much worse than I initially thought so I went over to the ER and of course they told me it was a concussion, that probably needed stitches but I'd waited to long for that. They gave me meds and sent me home early from work. I finally realized today that no matter how much pain I'm in, how sick I feel that I will always put my babies first and do what ever I can not to scare them. They didn't even realize anything was wrong which is exactly what I wanted. Heck I've been waiting all day to take the pain meds b/c my head is still hurting but I refuse to take them until the boys are in bed asleep. Sometimes I wish there was someone here to take care of me.

Oh honey . . . . that's just awful! I hope they go to bed soon lol

I know what you mean though . . . there are times when I would love to be selfish, mostly during migraines that develop, and yet, I continue on my day with Kai and dont let her in on such things. I too dont like to take meds like that unless she's asleep.

I hope you feel better soon.

Now there's a storyline...Air Force Substance Abuse Counselor gives pain meds to online friend.

man i am glad you are ok. i was sure you were going to say talking to your ex was like banging your head against a wall for a 'virtual' concussion. i'm so sorry you were really hurt!

i hope you feel no pain in time!

Laurie that would have been a "virtual black out". Amy I totally agree about the morphine pump...those were the nicest hours.

Hope that noggin is feeling better. You know doubt cracked your skull worse than I did mine about a week ago...cabinets are dangerous. Was installing a new kitchen and had the uppers in and was working under them, stood up and bashed my head. Blood but no stitches and no concussion.
Anyway, I had to reply because I was laughing.....I show all my remodel mishaps to my daughter I don't shelter her from any of it, it's more like...."see what I do in order to keep a roof over our head" This last one though I had no one to show it to cause she's still gone for one more week.......

Where was I.....oh yeah.....I do hope that you are feeling better by now.

I think it's called putz...

Hope yer feeling better and if amy doesn't want the drugs send em down...I'm sure I'll be meeting a door soon..

OWIE!! how are you feeling today?

OUCH! You were brave to hide it from your kids. I would've probably let out a huge YELP..lol.

So the vicodin worked last night, but this morning was almost worse than yesterday. I'm still at work though so I'm not going to die.

I'm much calmer when it's one of the boys b/c I don't want them to freak out. Once Wyatt, the oldest was playing with his best friend and was hit in the head somehow. He was gushing blood everywhere but was talking and not crying so I knew he was okay. I was more worried about my friend's white carpet. I grabbed him, pressed his head against my white t-shirt and told me friend to get the car (Dad was no help as he was trying not to pass out). We went straight to the emergency room and he got 14 staples which he thought was the coolest thing ever. I let myself get upset after the fact. The only time I've ever gotten upset in front of them was the day they told us that Wyatt was a diabetic and would be insulin dependent for life. He was four and I was helpless to make it better. He's great about it though! Anyway, I digress...I'll be taking those meds again tonight

He is on the insulin pump and has been for about two years now. He doesn't care for it b/c it makes his disability stand out to other people he says. I tell him that he's special and he should be proud of it. It's helped regulate his sugar a lot, except at daycare b/c those people are complete idiots but that's an entirely different topic all together.

ouch!

I can imagine I would do this myself.

Last summer, I had a great idea to run in 95+ degree weather. ummmmm.... I think I realized I was in a cold shower afterwards and saw lots of stars. I don't think my kids noticed :P
