Thursday i went over to a mates house and when we were messing around i banged my head really hard when i slumped down onto a chair. That night i found it really painful when i moved in my sleep and when i turned my head i would get sharp pains and the feeling like someone was kicking me in the head. I honestly thought nothing of it and just left it because it was clearly bruised.
Friday came along and my head was pretty sore. I had a small headache and felt a bit light headed, but i thought that it was because i had just got out of bed. I went over to my friends house again. Throughout the day my head got worse and worse. I felt weak and occasionally got a bit dizzy. When i was at the station that evening i stumbled a bit from my balance being off and a girl gave me a complete dirty stare, clearly thinking i was drunk! When i got off the train mum picked me up and i started crying as the pain had become unbearable. The pain was making me feel so sick, so she took me to Deal hospital. The nurse asked LOADS of questions and then checked my blood pressure which was raised and so was my tempreture. So the nurse had a feel of my head and neck and noticed i had some pain at the top of my spine. That was that.... I was rushed to a bed to lay myself on and put a neck brace on. I wasn't allowed to move at all. An ambulance had been rung to take me to Margate hospital. Because i wasn't their first priority i could of been waiting for 4 hours for the ambulance. About 2 hours went past of waiting with me strapped down to a table, mum and dad finally decided to take me in the car instead as i wasn't even on the waiting list for the ambulance yet. When i got up from the table i felt like i needed to collapse. I was so weak and my vision was blurry. It felt like i was drunk. My head was killing me and my neck now hurt from the stupid neck brace.
We arrived at Margate hospital where i had to wait another hour in a lot of pain. It was awful as a little boy kept running around laughing then crying and messing around with plug sockets. Then a guy accidentally dropped hot chocolate everywhere haha bless him.
When i was finally seen, i was checked over again and again and was explained that i had a mild concussion and whiplash! i was like oh dear haha. Now im basically relying on pain killers to get rid of the pain. My sister rang up saying 'What happened!?' I bet she was trying to diagnose me as she is training to be a nurse.
I'm so glad i am okay. I was really worried that there might of been something wrong with my spine. I'm feeling a lot better since yesterday but still a bit dizzy and still some bad headaches and neck pain. Things will get back to normal soon enough :)
