— Bluesky· May 2026“I get super dooper sleepy during active concussion and healing time, so if you're like me, sleep. Build it into your day/evening. The most important thing is recovery <3 If it gets in the way of your basic functioning, go to a doctor.”
— Bluesky· May 2026“My last concussion, I wrote an entire book and it is UNREADABLE.”
— Bluesky· May 2026“You can get a concussion anytime your brain meats get jumbled. You don't have to hit your head. Whiplash, hard impact, what have you. My tell-tale sign is that I am IMMEDIATELY emotional after impact: crying, angry, irrational (though I think I'm being rational).”
— Bluesky· May 2026“Anyway concussion suck. Whiplash sucks. I'm too weak to comfortably carry my coffee and lunch .25 miles into work and it makes me cranky. I hope you never need this advice! I'm not a doctor, just somebody who gets concussions more than I'd like.”
