Pretty sure I just got concussed. What do?

Report yourself to the nearest ICU (Intensive Chicken Unit) also known as lawson's convenience store and load up on the drumstick/thigh bucket. Nothing cures concussion like a good bucket of chicken

I’ll get some beers while I’m there as well

Getting seen by a professional is a good idea, sure. But for a minor concussion they really aren't going to do anything. Concussions are no joke, and you should at the very least take several days off skiing or sports. Pay attention to your mental function and if you're not fully confident you're feeling cleared up in a day or two maybe see someone.

With concussions it can be hard to to judge yourself. MAybe have someone run you through a concussion protocol - to see whether your basic memory is fucked.

Your face took the impact? Is your face injured?

I have had two concussions, one this pre-season and one four years ago. 4 years ago I had vision problems for over a year because of it. Head injuries are obviously no joke.

However, I wouldn’t go straight to the doctors at this point. I read something saying most mild brain injuries heal within a week of sustaining them, and that any post concussion symptoms are usually due to previously existing mental health issues/poor coping mechanisms. Take it easy for a week if you can. If you have a concussion, you will most likely be very tired all of the time. Listen to your body here; sleep as much as possible. When I hit my head earlier this year I slept probably 18 hours a day.

Sleep, drink water, eat healthily, stay off your phone/away from any mentally/physically straining activity. Take it easy as possible. There have also been some studies saying marijuana has helped healing concussions so uhhh.. smoke some weeks and sleep.

You should be careful with any concussions. If it's pretty mild I wouldn't worry too much about it. Don't drink the booze, do drink the water, don't hit your head for a few days just to be safe.

Concussions stack. Even sometimes smaller ones in a row, and any over your lifetime can have a bigger impact.

My worst one wasn't even from a bad fall. I think the way I hit, plus the tons of head injuries before it came into play. I had had a pretty bad one 2 years before, that might not have been totally healed((Had sever headaches for 6 months, and headaches for another year after less frequently) That one I couldn't even walk well for a while, and my head felt like it was crushing itself for a week or so. And like I said, that was a pretty mellow fall compared to other ones.

Hitting just right, and other concussions in the past can really fuck you up. It doesn't take much.

Be careful out there, hope you're all good.

Ban moguls

All right thanks for the info. I am gonna rest tomorrow then just slowly ease back into it. Skiing really conservatively.

You'll fry out badddd if you smoke too much after a concussion though. moke responsibly my children.

Natasha Richardson felt fine after her crash and didnt seek medical attention until only having a headache 2 hours later... just saying..

Use your health insurance, go get checked. it's not the end of the world to be seen by a doc even if they just say it was mild. Definitely take it easy for a week or two.

Fuck dog just read about her... scary shit. Well it’s been like 8h for me and I feel way better. Just gonna lay low for a couple of days and if I feel good ski then

Step 1- Consult a forum on a ski website where the average user age is 17.

Don't drink alcohol for few days and minimize screen time as much as you can for a few days after, try really hard not to hit your head again hard in the next few weeks so your little brain blob can heal itself up
