Concussion and a Cut

 Earlier this month I knocked my head on the bathroom taps in the craziest of ways.  It took two nights before I realized there was a huge dent on my forehead and skull.  The next day I started feeling a lot of pain, nausea, and headaches.  I progressively got worse over the weekend.  And since it was school break and I didn't have to teach for two weeks, Moses made the decision to take me to Kampala. 

Sleeping during the 6 hour drive

I think we were both scared by the time one week had past. Thankfully a doctor saw us immediately and she ordered a CT scan.  She didn't think there was much there, but wanted me to see a neurosurgeon at 6:30 the next morning.

Thankfully it was ruled out as a concussion and a sinus infection. I was told to rest and drink plenty of fluids. 

After a few days of rest, I felt like I needed a new look before heading back to Gulu.  I can't tell you the last time I was at the salon. It was 2.5 hours of blissful pampering. A fun cut and colour.

After coming back to Gulu, I was able to rest a bit more.  Thankfully the pain and nausea has disappeared and I only occasionally am slow in speech.  The kids I teach have noticed that I am slower in processing, but they are so good to me.  This class has seen me for months now, come to class with a water bottle because of the constant coughing to do chronic acid reflux, and they have become so patient, caring and forgiving.  I'm glad I am still able to teach every day!!
