Totally nobody's fault. She stepped on the toe of my boot by mistake and I stepped back to free my foot and I just kept going backwards. Smacked the back of my head on the ground so hard it bounced and my glasses flew off my face. I sat up and was pretty dazed and just sat on the ground for a bit to get my bearings. Then my vision got weird when I stood and I got hella barfy. Had my stepfather take me to the hospital and a friend put Sandy back into pasture for me. Sandy was very concerned when I was on the ground and wasn't standing up right away. She was also super upset that I wasn't the one taking her back to pasture and kind of threw a fit. The other folks there think she didn't want to leave me because I'm injured.

I also have epilepsy and according to my stepfather, I seem pretty fucked up and the hospital I went to really didn't take things seriously. Everything has been a blur tbh, which prolly ain't good.. I'm not having seizures afaik, but my concussion is obviously more than mild. My mom is going to take me to get a second opinion in the morning at a hospital associated with my neurologist.

Replying to comments will prolly be delayed, as screens hurt to look at and typing is nearly impossible because of my vision being weird.

I'll def update y'all at some point though!

I hope they gave you a CAT scan at least. Funnily similar to how I found out I had a brain tumor.

Sandy is going to be so happy to see you when you get better.

Have you already had your tumor removed? Hope you're okay

I did get a CT and it was fine. I spoke to my neurologist and she called in some meds and all that for me.

Sandy wanted to make sure you were ok. Hope you get better answers from the neurologist and make a quick recovery.

I hope you get well soon.

That sounds like a major concussion. Wishing you the best

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago

Definitely not a mild concussion. Oxymoron that that term is. If you hadn't already said you were going to see a specialist, I'd have recommended it. Concussions are like wu tang

If you're having vision issues, you need to get assessed, stat. I'm really sorry that happened and hope you recover quickly!

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 day ago

Oh no! So sorry to hear. Hope you recover soon!

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

I hope you are ok!
