Update on my head injury

[Warpy]

28. Tylenol, not Advil or aspirin or anu ptjer MSAID

If you do have a microscopic bleed anywhere, you want it to stay microscopic and then heal NSAID drugs thin the blood and can make a microscopic bleed bigger.

Hospitals aren't as scary as they used to be now that staff have been vaccinated. Yes, you can shed virus if you are vaccinated, but only in very small quantities. That means masking up for the duration, but the chance of making anyone else sick is diminished.

So for the next few days it's going to be Tylenol, rest, quiet activity that you can tolerate. If you play rough sports, lay off them for a few months (yeah, that one hurts, but reinjuring the brain in a short period of time can cause huge problems).

Post concussion headache, even months out, isn't unusual. If you get things like double vision, nausea or vomiting, ER. That's really rare, though. Most people heal just fine.
