It has been six months since I fell and cracked my head open. The gash healed in a few weeks, but since I am "an advanced age" it appears that my concussion (or the effects,thereof) has not quite gone away. Normal, I have read...
There is still a fullness in the top of my head with a dull headache. I take a large dose of ibuprofen (prescribed for other things) and that keeps it at bay most of the time so I can function. But until I take it, my head feels full and sore.
I read that a concussion takes much longer to heal in an older person- wouldn't you know, the first time I have one is when I am an older person. Young people pop right back. Oh well, it could have been worse, I suppose.
I write this because I have not taken that ibuprofen, yet. I can deal, but it is pesky. Sooo, I better get that pill down. Isn't it wonderful to be old!!! Of course, there is that alternative....
