You can tell she's never been a contractor.

I had to phone another contractor and say 'My missus has taken a blow to her head. She wants to go to hospital. Yes she's alive. Yes, she still has both legs. Both hands. Yep. Heart. Yep... I know. Unreal isn't it!'

At least it's not more serious like a cracked skull.

Oh that's not so bad as long as the skin's open; the blood can get out instead of squashing your brain.

Not trying to scare you, but injures to the head are not to be taken lightly - especially as you get older.

WSS

I've had a few knocks to the head and look at me; I'm a tester FFS!

My dad fell over in the snow last Jan - knocked himself unconscious.
Seemed fine for a bit

But by the end of March was very ill and paralyzed due to slow bleeding on the brain as a result on the blow to the back of his head.
Two holes in his head and 10 months later he's fine.

Business must be booming at Marillion mansions. Goods are flying off the shelves.

[minestrone]

"it can go on for weeks" is what the girly said.

I'll send you the invoice for that private consultation.

Only seen one person concussed, he was out for a couple of days, talking nonsence for half a day.

I did wonder whether I could sue my own insurance.

She put a lamp up on a high shelf to check it. Later she bent down and moved a box, pulling the lead. The lamp had a sharp pointed top and it hit her on the head.

She then tried to carry on serving but a customer pointed out she had blood down her face.

I know what you're thinking. Yes. The lamp was OK.

Missus took a blow to the head on Friday in the shop. Something heavy fell off and hit her on the head.

Sue the owner for millions.

How's your insurance? You might never have to work again.

She's had a headache and felt ill since Friday, but when she saw the doctor they checked her and said nothing was too wrong.

On Friday evening? Probably diagnosed "drunk and hungover" and disregarded her.

Last night she had a dizzy spell and then had to go to bed about 8pm. This morning she has been in tears & feels sick, with the spot really painful.

Get her up to Casualty.

Just going to take her to the hospital? But will they do anything?

Check for fractures / scan for internal bleeding / hit her knee with a hammer / shine a torch in her eyes / get her to do funny finger exercises.

Anyone had concussion?

Seen the effects. Cheaper than drugs.

not a sledge by any chance?

I've never had concussion, but I knew someone who once told me that when he was concussed he did odd things for a while. He'd fallen off a ladder and went wandering around outside, and phoned up an ex girl friend talking gibberish.

I haven't been concussed yet, but I did see someone have snow fall on her head yesterday. She threw a tantrum as soon as it happened and almost smashed a shop window.
