I Got Pwned By The Soap.
<div class="IPBDescription">minor concussion.</div> Well ealier tonight I was walking to work and and all hell broke lose.
Some parts I remember clearly, others not at all.
I was walking down 2 flights of stairs to get out of my building to go up the street to the police station where I work.
Its 2 flights of stairs. One that goes half way down a level then there is a landing and it turns around in a U and goes down the rest of the way. Im sure you all know what I mean.
So anyways, I always go up and down the stairs 2 at a time. Ive done this 2 stairs at a time thingy for my entire life and Ive never had any problems with it.
So I remember looking at my watch, it was 21:50 (9:50PM). I go down the 1st flight of stairs, round the corner and go an down the last set. Just as I get to the 2nd to last step I see this BIG GLOB of blue Laundry detergent that some jack _ _ _ spilled and left there. It was too late.
My left ankle hits it, turns in ALL THE WAY on its side, and I hear 2 very audible CRACK sounds. It more surprised me then hurt me. I have a modest to large pain tolerance abut I was like "OH _ _ _ _ like 10x in my head. Meanwhile (This all happened very fast) I remember very clearly getting off balance (I was still falling forward) and falling face first right into a concrete corner of a wall and face planting.
My vision seemed to exploded into a white light! My vision was all pixilated so to say and I remember falling to the ground (face first again <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> ) and everything gowing black like REAL FAST.
The next thing I know Im thinking of lots of crazy things like in a deam and I open my eyes and Im like where the hell am I?
Im on the ground. I pick myself up almost spew my dinner and evently sit up. I look at my watch. Its now 22:03 or 10:03PM. I was kocked out for like 13 min!
And no one came to help me! And I know someone must have come by b/c its a well traveled side entrance where the stairs are. Morons probably thought i was passed out drunk. But come on! I Still would have at least tried to help If I saw someone like that.
And I also realised that my face hurt so bad. I must have bit my cheek and my lip b/c my mouth was all bloody.
And my ankle hurts like hell. But its not swollen so I think It will be ok. However
I have all the ice symptoms of a concussion.
Early Signs
Headache ==yup
Dizzinesss == yup
Confusion ==yup
Ringing in the ears =no
Nausea ==yes
Vomiting ==no thank god
Vision changes or blurred vision ==yes
Loss of balance =no but my ankle takes care of that.
So I managed to hobble to the police station and I had to convince all the officers I work with that I hadnt been robbed.
SO I got all checked put and I probably had a minor concussion blablaba.. Im all ok now but Im a little dizzy.
So thats my crazy night.

Ok, flip remarks aside, I hope you, your head and your ankle are all better soon.
[EDIT]: 2000th Post! W00T!11!!1!
yea I got all stuff still. phew
lol when I woke up I was like hmmm what should I do? And I as soooo dizzy and stuff I felt like i hit my "funny bone" but all over my body. Climbing back up the 2 flights of stairs seemed like an ENOURMOUS task at the time so I ended up limping up the snowy street lol to work anyways.
Phew.
Yes that does suck. Look at it this way, at least you have an excuse to stay in the house during a really good game of NS. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Bah! No one would dare laugh, back in the states I had a two story house and I almost fell down the stairs. I didn't fall but it was scary as hell, I can only imagine the amount of fear and pain you'd get from the real thing.
Phew. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->

Well, good to hear you're ok.

Yesh. For the soap uses cunning traps and stealth to... wait, you didnt have any pantsu on you. Bad person, Bad.
Jeez Cpl. Davis, you're very very VERY lucky. Tequila just made me realize how lucky you are.
ouch.
I have a very low pain tolerance so I probably would have been on the ground screaming and unable to move (and that's after waking up from the concussion, which I probably wouldn't wake up from heh. Comaville for me).
Glad to hear you're all right though.
No concussion for me, though <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

Did they work?
Youve been gutshot for christs sake, id say thats a fair bit worse.
Hehe. Until I read that you were actually quoting Tequila, this is a very strange comment <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Actually, when comparing a gunshot and slipping on soap and falling down stairs, the types of pain are a *tad* bit different. Falling down the stairs usually results in blunt force trauma, while a gunshot wound usually results in a sharp piercing pain and (if it hits the right spot) hemorrahging (sp?) from the wound. I the instance of blunt force trauma and concussion, my incident with the tank blast would be the one I consider worse, but the gunshot did hurt (and I've been shot more than once).
