If you've had a bang on the head I think you should really be checked out! Can you go to A and E?

I can't go until tomorrow as they wont be able to get cover for my work they need plenty of notice they are not very considerate employers I work for the county council when my husband had his surgery they asked if my family could help him he wouldn't want his daughter to help him with his pc and toileting he would have felt very embarrassed

Sounds like you have a wonderful caring husband. Take care of yourself. If you are still have a headache and or doing odd things that your hubby notices, please go to the ER. Don't be embarassed about the fall, your life has value...you are worth it.

I wish you well

Sue.

I sympathise - it might make you feel a bit better knowing that I fell asleep on the loo in the middle of the night a couple of years ago and managed to bump my head like you but I also grazed my chin and broke my foot! I felt a right nit having to tell the A&E staff how I'd done it but they didn't bat an eye. So please don't be put off going if feel you need to, especially don't let the nurse with the personality defect colour your decision. Hope you're soon feeling better x
