It's getting better but it's still not fun- the tender spot on the back of my head is a bit better- I was goofing around with my bf and jumped backwards onto my bed and overshot it and wacked the back of my head on my wall- luckily it was a flat surface because it was dangerously close to the windowsill frame.
(Link to concussion symptoms: Concussion - WebMD: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention )
On another positive note- I got an upgrade to my modem, because apparently it was outdated and after having connections with my internet via COMCAST for several months, finally I got a hold of someone on the helpline who knows what the eff they're doing who was able to see that was in fact outdated and I went down to the Comcast office and exchanged my old one for the new 3.0 which also included wifi so I discarded my stupid netgear router. Of course they didn't give me any instructions and I was flying by the seat of my pants and after calling a couple times to activate it I finally got someone who knew what to do and told me the name of my network and that I needed to enter the network key to be able to connect and voila!!! (FINALLY) so effing frustrating how other people's incompetence can complicate peoples lives . . .

Concussions aren't a joke, even a mild one. Trust me, I've had a few. If you haven't gone to the doctor, make an appt soon.
Thanks for this!

Yikes, that sounds like it hurt. I hope you've seen a doctor!

I agree with everyone else about going to see the doctor.

Glad you got your internet fixed up. It can be maddening dealing with online support people. I feel sorry for you. At least, you finally found someone who knew what they were doing.

Well, I didn't see a doctor, but did talk to a coworker who has had a concussion in the past and he told me that basically the doctor will just tell me to rest and take it easy. If anything, it's pretty minor- granted I had mental fatigue and concentration issues that have gone away- but I didn't pass out or have any dizziness or nausea. I did sustain a minor sore spot on the back of my head that seems to be reducing in size though - I wasn't bleeding or anything. So yeah, I'm taking it easy- I had a coworker cover for me yesterday and today and tomorrow are my regular days off.
My bf is on the way over and we're going to cook some dinner.
Thanks for this!
