Just fell off a ladder. I was goofing off so it was my own fault. Don't worry I caught myself with my head so don't worry I can still play mtg my hands are perfectly fine!
Lockjaw is no fun. Showed those wasps though. Anyone know how long I should expect my jaw to hurt? Hit on the top back of my head cuz when I jumped off it caught my foot.
Your jaw hurts from hittin the back of your head? I'd guess prob about a week at most.
My head hurt just reading this... D:
Thanks
No problem. Probly just a minor contusion
Yeah all the other employees are doting on me and are making me wait to see if I might have a concussion. I guess I tried jumping from the 4th step up.
Do you feel disoriented or nauseous?
Not nautious, I do think I'm off a little bit. I can see straight when I put my glasses on. We joked about how they flew off and I had blurry vision. I think im just letting my head stabilize.
Ok well disorientation is normal since you whacked your head obviously lol but as long as you aren't nauseous, I don't think you have a concussion. I got one before, got SO nauseous and started puking so hard
That sucks, man. Take two new booster packs for your pain and one each day thereafter until symptoms subside. If you experience any pain beyond a few days consult a real physician and not some random mtg fanatic.
Although sometimes the symptoms for a concussion can be very subtle so I'd still get it checked out. Other symptoms include amnesia, dizziness, ringing in the ears, slurred speech and confusion. If you notice changes in behavior, get it checked out quickly.

Well I am by no means pretending I'm a doctor because I'm not, so your physician would know more than me but I CAN recognize a concussion if I see it. I'm not JUST an mtg fanatic but have worked in an emergency room.

Thank you, I will most definitely check on all of these things. I appreciate your input, my jaw is the only super anmoying thing so far.

I find that unusual. I've never heard that before. Are you sure you didn't hit your jaw too on the way down? As for lockjaw, unless you have tetanus, I'm sure you dont have that lol. You didn't cut yourself on any rusty nails did you? :P
😄 My intention wasn't at all to berate you for asking us but to commiserate with you and to make you go to a doctor.

Not sure why I made that sound so directed. I have a knack for sounding defensive when i'm not. No harm no foul. I appreciate your intentions for sure!
It's hard to pick up on intentions with text xD
^agreed!
I love emoticons (cheesy though they be) for that reason.
