CONCUSSION!!!!!!

As most of you already know by now that I have had two concussions in the in past three weeks of so do to falls hitting my head in therapy at WestSide and in my camp. This is the reason I have not been able to blog lately. My primary care doctor and neurologist do not want me looking at computer screens or television screens screens for that matter. They have told me just to stay home and rest. It is amazing what concussion effects cause. headaches and especially makes your feel like you want to vomit every time you turn around. I told my primary care doctor this and she gave me a pill that dissolves in your mouth to take when you fell this vomit feeling coming on. It is called ondansetron. To be taken every eight hours as needed. Well I guess I will be signing off for now and will return when my doctors give me the o.k.
