    Default So that's what a concussion feels like...

    Arrived at work this morning. Walked from my truck towards the shop. Next thing I knew I woke up on the ground. Probably out for only a few seconds. Apparently slipped on the snow while walking up a slight incline towards our office, hit my head and landed on my shoulder. Spent all day in the ER with 2 MRIs, ct scan and xrays. Diagnosis: Torn rotator cuff, concussion, bulged discs between L5-S1.

    Good news is I knocked myself out (so says the doc) so I didn't feel the fall or the sudden stop at the end. Bad news is now I probably need shoulder surgery.

    Damn.

    Man! That sucks. Sorry to hear about the fall BG. I've had similar problems - surgery on both shoulders and lower back. If you need the name of the best shoulder surgeon in town, send me a PM.

    Holy cow man, that sucks.

    That sucks, I hope you have a speedy recovery. Start pounding large amounts of glucosamine / chondroitin and other joint stuff. It really does help you heal faster. Keeps me going.

    That was the exact thought I had when I got the news.

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.
