I'm OK!

Today, I slammed the car door on my head while I was getting in the car. If that wasn't bad enough, my boyfriend is convinced I now have a concussion and insists on waking me up every hour to make sure I'm still alive. FML

Today, my doorbell rang while I was still in bed. I leapt out and immediately got a severe cramp in one leg, then, staggering around trying to throw some clothes on, I scraped the other leg badly enough to draw blood. When I got to the door there was nobody there, just a parcel on the doorstep. FML

I"m sorry, but I find that incredibly sweet, he cares. Though if you want it to stop, why not just go to the ER and put his fears to rest?

How the heck did you do that? That takes talent!

Please, OP, do explain. Yes, I know it's annoying being woken up every hour. My parents had to do that with me when I accidentally hit myself in the face with the scope of a gun while shooting it. But he cares about you, obviously, and wants to be sure you're okay. That is sweet, and I'm sure a lot of boyfriends probably would just laugh their asses off at you.

Awww, I think thats so adorable:3 he cares enough to stay awake and check up on you to make sure you're okay, OP. I honestly wouldn't really consider this an FML aside from the fact that you're getting woken up so often...

AAAAARRRGGGGHHH! That's the sound I make every time I hear of this stupid myth that you can die if you go to sleep after a concussion. It only happens in movies and on TV, people. You don't die after a concussion. The fact is that people are often sleepier after a concussion. It's NORMAL. Want to know the treatment? SLEEP.

That's what neuro obs and gcs scores are for.

You are correct. Sleep/rest is the best treatment for a concussion. Many people are misinformed.

Tell that to Natasha Richardson. She went in to rest. You can't blame someone for being overly caution. Especially if that person wasn't seen by a "doctor". Keeping a person awake for at least 3 hours so you can observe them isn't a bad idea.(:
