started off the week with a lot of stress but ended on a high note
struggling still with concussion symptoms, I guess it's technically "post concussion syndrome" now.
My doctor won't see me because of the legal aspect of seeing a car accident victim, so my care has slipped through the cracks. Still haven't seen a doctor since I first went to the ER.
On more positive notes, I went out Friday night to celebrate some good news for my partner, and was complimented by strangers on my outfit. 🥰
Wait what? Doctors won't see victims? For legal reasons? What???
Are you okay, can we help in any way?
Apparently it's not uncommon for primary care physicians to not see car accident victims. It can take years for them to get paid, and it's a legal nightmare trying to navigate who should actually pay them, etc.
I'm not sure I'm OK, that's part of why I would like to see a neurologist, I have to fly in a couple weeks and this could be a major risk ... but my suspicion is that I'm totally fine. This is my third head injury, and second major concussion, so I'm a little more worried about lasting symptoms and the increased long-term risks (reading into it, it's not looking good).
Mostly it's just hard to work full-time when a conversation can leave me with a severe headache and unable to function.
However, from what I can tell, my symptoms are mostly mild and I don't suspect a brain bleed or anything. The ER refused to give me a CT scan and didn't do any other diagnostics, so they felt it was mild enough, too (or they just dismissed me as a woman, lol).
But really, I'm OK - thank you for your kindness and care 🥰
Wow, that's devastating. Stay safe friend, hope you heal soon concussions are awful.
