Concussion...

technically you dont wake up if your dead, but ill take your advice because that really doesnt sound like my cup 'o tea...

I've always had the idea of faking falling asleep while waiting for you turn after you've reported you've got a concussion. Can it not be dangerous to sleep with one for too long? If so, they should come and check on you and you say you feel a bit weird, I'd be hoping they take you in faster. Haven't had a concussion since I was 14 and I went in with an ambulance and don't remember much. But it's worth a try.

Thanks for that piece of scientific advice. If and when I wake up tomorrow, I will now do so with confidence that I am alive without having to ask the missus for confirmation ;o)

Good luck at the hospital.

accident prone

@andyp, haha, can't rep you for a bit :(

your gayprone

what did happen with the frame though!?

gusyup, a first concussion is normally not that bad; but concussions are tricky. The brain does a good job of repairing damage without the body being too aware of the extent of the damage. Concussions are worse when they are repeated, when the cumulative damage can be severe. Falling as a child, hitting your head and blacking out, is concussion. The action of the brain hitting the inside of your skull is concussive damage, and causes brain scarring. Each concussion is easier to trigger as time and repeats occur.

Some older boxers can be knocked out by the thinnest of teenagers, because the scarring, and therefore the damage is so bad.

As the others said, step away from the bike, and go get a scan. Listen to folks that give a damn.

this is my second one, the first was no were near as drastic as this one though.
i got a new frame, last week.

i can't even remember how times i've had concussion
