I have always been very accident prone. It comes from a variety of things including my poor depth perception, but I think I am also just inattentive to many details.
Today when we were working on rearranging the home office, a speaker from the computer fell on my head giving me a lovely headache and a mild concussion. How do I know? It is not my first. The first few times I got a concussion I was rushed to the hospital, ended up with a cat scan and then sent home with the concussion instructions.
So now, I don't rush anywhere, but I do prepare to be stupid for the next 24-48 hours. I cannot concentrate (I have shut my eyes six times typing this post), I make mistakes and mostly, my head hurts.
So although I had 4 hours of alone time today to rush off to the barn for riding that I have missed due to the holiday celebrations (which was lovely, thanks for asking), I sat on the couch and watched Orange County, which I have seen at least 10 times.
Ugh. Cannot concentrate anymore.

I love your blog! As a fellow horse owner, I'm always interested in learning new things about our equines! I really like the post below about hay...we're short on hay this year, too.
I hope your head feels better!
Great blog site. Will enjoy checking in. Discovered you while looking for places to post upcoming Pete Ramey clinic in Roseburg, next April. Go to www.hoofrehab.com for info or www.thesevensprings.net to correspond. Happy New Year from Glide! Linda Young
Wow, this almost makes it sound like concussion isn't serious. With repeated concussions you are more and more likely to end up with permanent brain injury or dead on the next occassion rather than just stupid for 24-48 hours. Do be careful and always wear your helmet :)
This concussion wasn't serious, but they can be very serious, and the more you have the worse it can be. I did end up going to the hospital on day 3, and everything was OK. We did more work in that room and the next time I wore a helmet when crawling around behind the desk (no joke). Here is an interesting article about an ex-football player. It is a little scary.
