A comment to last night's entry
I still felt awful when I woke up this morning. I wasn't sure I was going to make it into work. I took some Motrin and that helped a little. Chewing my breakfast was surprisingly painful. I was baffled by this because the blow was straight to my face, not along my jawline at all, but I guess the shock waves jarred the entire jaw. There may be some whiplash involvement, too. My neck and my back ache, too.
I debated whether I should go to the emergency room. I wonder if I do have a little concussion. I finally decided not to because 1) I didn't have nausea and 2) my pupils were the same size. Judging from our experience with Fiona's mugging in June, I judged that all they would do would be to give me an MRI and send me home with drugs. I can't afford it. Of course, if the headache suddenly gets worse or if the pupil size changes or I get nauseated, I'll go in.
Edited to add: Ow. Okay, I'm done. I'm throwing in the towel here at work and heading home to try to sleep this off.
