When we took him into the doctor I really thought his nose was broken but no that seems to be okay but a lovely shade of purple and green. He failed the exam when the doc had to shut off the lights because of his photosensitivity and then he couldn't walk a straight line. Those results led to more tests and then her turning to us and saying he has a concussion.
He thought he'd get medicine and go about his usual day...when she started explaining restrictions his brain interpreted her to say he can never play sports or go to school or play video games or watch tv.....ever. The last two sent him over the edge. It took a whole lot of fast talking to curb the panic attack he had.
He's resting today with sunglasses on in the house even though I've made it as dim as possible. Explaining a concussion to him is not easy, I'm quite sure he thinks his brain is going to ooze out. It probably feels like it.
As the doctor is winding up the visit, she paused to read the front of his shirt which until that moment I did not realize he'd worn. Take a look at the saying......yep that's us.....observant all the way.
