Having a heck of a day

Saturday, I got clonked on top of the head pretty hard. I have an old car, and the hydraulic posts that hold the trunk open are very weak. Combine that with early 00s heavy doors/hoods/trunks, and you get auto close, even if you don't want it to. So, the trunk of my car knocked me for a loop. I don't think I went all the way out, but my bell was definitely rung.

PT shut down the workout for my hip because my concussion symptoms were "very obvious," and sent me to the general internal medicine doctor. They have sent me to the ER, to get a stat CT scan. My friends are mad at me because I drove myself to the hospital, but I live alone, and I can't exactly afford an ambulance.

Can't wait to be here for three hours and be given Tylenol and told to rest.
