Injured

So I have a concussion.  I was gardening on Monday afternoon on our front yard, very close to the house, and I stood up quickly and whacked the back of my head on the window overhang.  It hurt SO MUCH!  At first I just figured since I didn't knock myself out I was okay, but that night it hurt a ton.  And the next day my brain was all foggy and time warped and I just felt drunk or spaced out.  As I was driving the kids to the pediatrician I thought, jeepers I really shouldn't be driving!  I didn't have much choice but to finish that trip, but after that I didn't drive again for a few days.  That afternoon I got dizzy and felt nauseous.  The next day was worse.  I called my doctor's office (after much prodding from my BF, and some encouragement from Brent) but my doctor wasn't in that day.  My naturopath is closed Wednesdays.  So I was pretty well hooped until yesterday as far as medical attention goes.  My doctor said Yup, you have a concussion.  I went to my naturopath today (because I'm just not convinced that merely waiting for a head injury to fix itself is the best approach, although it is what my doctor recommended and what I knew is the allopathic norm) and she gave me a homeopathic for pain and healing, and a supplement for combating inflammation.  She also caught a symptom my doctor missed (one pupil is irregularly shaped and slower than the other) and showed it to me in the mirror.  I'm tired.  My head aches.  I feel dizzy and nauseous, on and off, and just overwhelmingly tired.  I just want to curl up on a doggy bed somewhere and sleep for days on end....

This is really putting a cramp in my style.  I am busy!  I am active!  I have FOUR CHILDREN!  My husband works LONG HOURS, including night shifts!  I don't really have sick day privileges.  Gar.

Think of me, and send me healing thoughts as I do this...
