bump on the head!

the left part of my forehead hurts like a bitch right now from when i lost my balance last night while getting my ice packs (that i sleep with every night) outta my freezer and i smacked my head on the floor in my kitchen. my piece of shit health alarm didn't even fuckin go off and start beeping because i fell. so either i need a new battery in the machine or a completely new health alert itself OR someone disabled my health alert without notifying me. i had to fuckin crawl to my couch to get myself up and then i stumbled over to my health alert to press the health alert button on the machine itself on the counter in my kitchen(because i suspected there might be something wrong with the necklace itself).. but NOPE! i attempted to press the button on the health alert and NOTHING HAPPENED. so i stumbled to my bedroom, to where my cell phone was charging by my bed and i called the ics and asked them what to do because i fell and hit my head on the floor. the ics worker, zack told me to call 911 and have the ambulance bring me to regions so i could have them check my head out and make sure i didn't damage anything. so i called 911 and the ambulance came within 3-5 minutes. i walked to my door and unlocked the door, letting them in my apartment and i told them my problem. the emt said that i wasn't bleeding and he couldn't really see a bump on my head (even though i felt one forming) and so they just left and told me to call 911 if i started seeing spots again or if i passed out (which i don't really understand how i could call them if i was passed out). the emts here don't seem to be as helpful as the ones in burnsville. so i got my ice packs and laid down, putting one on my head and falling asleep (i wasn't positive i'd even wake up because generally a person isn't supposed to sleep after they hit their head because they might have a concussion and never wake up again- so i took my chances, uncaringly). the joys of having balance problems because of my traumatic brain injury! shit just never ends for me.
