Last night Tom, Jackie, Shane and I went to see The Importance of Being Earnest at Holland Civic Theatre. It's a funny show, and one of the three we are planning to put on this summer.
The show began at 7:30. We had a fifteen minute intermission at 9:00. We were in the lobby when the show was over at 11:00 p.m.
That is way to long for a theatre performance when it's old English language, English accents, and uncomfortable seating.
Still the show was hysterical and the acting was wonderful! I loved it!
After I returned home, Dan came over after work. He had fallen in the morning on the ice in his driveway and hit his head. I went with both Paige and Dan to the E.R. I knew he had a concussion. I thought they would want to do a C.T. scan.
They did not.
I was shocked.
Paige is a wonderful bundle of clumsy. She has had numerous concussions over the years. She has always had a c.t. scan. This is what you do to make sure there is no brain bleed or skull fracture. It's really standard operating procedure. If I had known they weren't going to do the scan, I would not have taken him in. Good grief, I certainly know how to handle concussions.
Thankfully there were very few people there. We were in and out. Home in just under an hour and a half. Remarkable.
Of course when you're not doing your job, really just phoning it in, you can boot people out a lot faster than if you took the time to do things properly.
Whatever.
Dan is still dizzy and somewhat sick to his stomach, but he's resting comfortably and seems to be answering questions correctly. He is repeating himself somewhat and is a bit forgetful, but those things are to be expected. Nothing unusual or out of the norm for a concussion. His symptoms could last a few days or a few weeks, just depends upon how his brain decides it wants to heal. Head injuries are tricky things.
