About seven hours ago, I had quite the experience after getting my head slammed against a wall! So, here’s what happened: I’m (16M) in the school bathroom, just finished at the urinal and was about to wash my hands. The layout is such that the urinals are on the right and the stalls are on the left, creating a narrow path to the sink.
Anyway, I noticed two guys were in the midst of a fight and blocking my way. Funny enough, I had an Algebra 2 quiz on logarithms coming up, and I wanted to squeeze in a few last-minute reviews. So, I tried to maneuver around them, but as luck would have it, one of their flailing fists caught me right in the face—specifically, my nose. To make matters worse, since I was close to the wall, my head slammed into it too.
Next thing I knew, I felt dizzy, and everyone around suddenly turned their attention to me while the two fighters bolted. I glanced in the mirror and realized my nose was bleeding—quite a lot, actually. I lost track of time for a solid six minutes, trying to stop the bleeding. Luckily, it finally subsided, and I made it back to class just in time to finish the test.
However, that’s when things took a turn for the worse. I started feeling dizzy and had a hard time walking. My friends had to help me get home because I was stumbling all over the place. My parents rushed me to the hospital, saying I was walking like I’d downed nine bottles of beer! Long story short, I ended up with a concussion. I don’t remember much from that time since I was mostly zoned out, but I came home and crashed.
I woke up a few hours ago; the pain is still hanging around, but at least I seem a bit more alert.
P.S. I made a ton of grammatical errors writing this, so I apologize if I missed any!
Wow, that sounds like an intense experience! I’m really sorry to hear about the concussion and the unexpected chaos in the bathroom. It’s good that you went to the hospital right away—concussions can be serious. I hope your nose heals up quickly and you start feeling better soon. Make sure to take it easy while you recover, and don’t hesitate to reach out to someone if you continue to feel dizzy or have any other symptoms. And don’t worry about the grammatical errors—what matters is that you shared your story, and it definitely sounds like a wild day!
