Tuesday. Between 13 and 1400 hours.

Quin is swinging off his chair. His friend says "remember when you did a ninja backwards roll when you fell off that?". Quin replies an affirmative, and says he thinks he can do it again. Quin pushes back. Two loud thump whacks hit the ground. Quin swears, and stumbles around for a seat. Very dizzy and headachey.


Tuesday. Roughly 2200 hours.

Quin is texting his woman. He passes out. He wakes up an hour and a half later, apologises, then falls asleep.


Wednesday. 0740 hours.

Quin's friends calls him. Quin thinks "Oh bugger, I have to leave the house in 10 minutes!" Quin quickly gets ready for college, and manages to get on the bus looking his usual fine self.


Wednesday. Later.

Quin goes to the First Aid man, who tells him that he usually doesn't get many cases, especially head trauma ones. Quin feels special. Quin is told to come back if it gets worse, and he will be taken to hospital.


Wednesday. Slightly more later.

Quin goes back to reception, and tries to find First Aid man. Turns out, First Aid man is busy with an even better head trauma case - one who actually fell unconscious. Quin feels a bit gutted. Quin gets taken to hospital with his head trauma buddy.


Wednesday. Laterer.

Quin is diagnosed with mild concussion, and is told to take Paracetamol every four hours, and Ibuprofen every 3. Quin goes back to college and continues life.


Wednesday. Evening.

Quin makes a thread on an internet forum.


So yeah, I have mild concussion. It's cool. It's like a big hand is gripping my brain in a tight, and slightly painful, grip, whilst covering my ears.



Topic is: Have you ever had any cool head injuries? What, and How?

My other head injury involves my forehead, a hockey stick, and plenty of blood and swearing. Now I have a cool scar, but luckily my hair covers it.
