My head injury

[lph]

Oh my ShootingStar! Best of wishes for a gentle healing. I can only second all the reminders to be careful.

I came off my bike just before Christmas, and sprained my wrist and got a couple of feisty bruises, and didn't realize until much later that I had hit the ground hard enough to put cracks in my helmet. And even that quite mild bump was enough that a week later, I tired easily and was happy to spend hours just staring into space. Heads are precious things. Good luck!

So sorry this happened to you! It's weird...I can remember every detail of my crash where I fractured my pelvis...kind of wish I couldn't! BUT, I didn't hit my head, or if I did, it was so light that it did no damage. My pelvis broke my fall (pardon the pun).

You've received some excellent advice here, and I have nothing to add except that it sucks that this happened to you, and I hope you'll heal up well. DO take time to recover and don't rush it.
