Eating oreos at 2:15 AM

Heylo lovelies. So as you my have saw I got a head injury at work. So whole story. My coworker was loading pallets of pepsi products on the truck. I was riding in the front. We get to a store and starting unloading the products for that store. Well I was cutting the plastic wrap off the pallets and he didn't see me kneeling behind this big thing. So he assumed I was inside talking to the store GM and was taking the sodas and putting them on a handcart. Well he decided instead of taking the empty pallet off with his hands. He decided to shove it off and the pallet went directly into my right side of my cranium.

So no physical activity or mental stress. Which I've gotten quite a bit of in the GD today about the worst case scenario. I've been crying off and on. From pain and worry.

I'm a mess today

I'm having the hardest time sleeping tonight. I have no oreos for this. I'm just feeling like I'm dying from my head being split in two

Your brain may need more time off work. You'll be tempted to do more than the ER Dr wants, please don't.
Call your PCP or regular Dr office. They will probably want to follow your progress before you return to work. A hit on the head can cause emotional reactions, let your tears flow.
I'm just a former EMT and wife of a TBI patient. I pray your journey to recovery is short.

That's what my dad does. But I'm very slow today like everything is moving much more slowly than normal.
