Ohhh my head

Okay so I've never blogged, but I've tried for years to keep a journal and failed miserably. So here is my first blog. Enjoy!
Well, Monday night I was tucking in the kiddo's as usual. After praying and laughing with Jared, I smacked my head on the top bunk of his bed. I literally saw stars. Everything went black and I saw stars. Now I have hit my head plenty of times to know, but I wasn't paying attention yet again!
I collapsed to the floor and told Jared to go and get Andy. (thank God he was home) I am lying on the floor in excruciating pain, and can not open my eyes. I lie there for what seems like forever, crying, while Andy tries to assess the injury. After several minutes, He asks if I can move to our bed. I don't think I can, but I am willing to try. When he moved me to a sitting position, a wave of pain came rushing in my head, eyes, BODY. I collapse again and I tell Andy to just let me lie there. He is worried that I may have a concussion and calls an ambulance.

The kids start crying for fear that something could be seriously wrong with me. I am trying to control my own sobs to ease their worry, but I too am scared. I continue to lie on the floor and tell Andy to just let me lie there and go to sleep. I was feeling soooo tired. I just wanted to sleep, thinking that if I could sleep the pain would cease. Andy kept talking to me and telling me not to fall asleep. Just leave me here, I'll be fine, I would say. The paramedics arrived and asked what happened, how I felt, if I could move. I said yes, but preferred to stay where I was. They said no I needed to get in the bed. (they were assessing whether or not I could stand) So I reluctantly sat up and of course the wave of pain came upon me again and I urged them to just let me lie down, where I was. Then they stood me to my feet. I was crying and calling Andy to tell them to just leave me alone. They kept telling me I needed to get to a bed. After what felt like hours of pain and painstakingly walking to my bed, clinging to the paramedic and feeling weaker and weaker, I made it. The paramedics then proceeded to explain to Andy that if I had been vomiting than I would immediately need to go to the ER. They also advised him to take me if I couldn't wake up. DUH! After they left Andy gave me IBP and a bag of frozen veggies was place on my head.
Tues. was a sluggish day. I was dragging and any loud noise, sent pain through my head. So I took it easy. My mom came over to help me help the kids with school, cook, clean and the such. I was very grateful.
Today was even better. I still have pain, but it is more local, rather than my whole head.
All I have to say is thank you to my family. I love them so much and it saddens me that I made them upset. I am grateful that I have such a hard head and that I didn't have to go to the ER.
