update pics of my head

[Marc St Louis]

First time I hear of this Pat.  Glad you're OK.  I nearly got clonked on the head like that a few years ago, the limb just missed me.

Thanks, Marc. I went to my Dr last week and he gave me some exercises for the dizziness. After 3 sessions of the exercises the dizziness disappeared. I'm on my 12th session now. I'll talk to my Dr today to let him know how well it worked.

What are the exercises? My wife got a concussion years ago, She cant bend over to 90° without getting dizzy.

Kevin, have her look up "Dr Jo, vertigo exercises" on youtube.
basically you lay on your right side and turn your head at a 45 deg angle for a 30 second count, then sit up straight for a 30 second count then lay on your left side with your head at 45 degrees for a 30 second count. Do 5 reps of these, twice a day. There is a little bit more but she explains it better. I was amazed how quickly it worked for me with only 3 sessions. I'll be at 13 sessions when I do them tonight and will continue for a while.

Dang Pat, just now seeing this. Sure glad it wasn’t worse than it was. Looking like it’s healing up good though.  Hope you keep making progress with the concussion.

Most of it seems to be behind me but I'm vigilant about making sure.
