fun times at curling
How to know it's long past time for a new gripper: Your gripper leaves your shoe on a whim of its own while you are sweeping a rock, and your foot flies out from under you and you go down backwards with no chance to break your fall and your head bounces off the ice.
I'm okay. Saw stars for a couple of seconds, left the game (obviously), and my in-laws brought Himself up to the club so he could drive my car home. We stopped in the ER, where I had a CT scan that showed nothing extraordinary inside my head, which is good. Concussion, yes; worse than that, no.
Today I did not go to work. I've got muscle aches from tensing up against the inevitable impact, and my head hurts, but the dizziness is almost gone. As scary episodes go, it's been about as smooth as possible.

I feel for you. Literally, at the moment . . . I missed the bottom step at the end of an unlit and unfamiliar stairway last night, and the contortions I went through on the way down in order to avoid Falling on Outstretched Hand (done that once already in my career, have no desire to do it again) and Striking Head on Corner of Table have left my lower back muscles in a state of painful stiffness.
At least I managed to also avoid spraining my ankle in the process. I sprained my right ankle for the first time when I was about six, and I've sprained again it every three or four years since. It's probably held together by the organic equivalent of duct tape and bailing wire.

I went with a friend to get checked out when she had a concussion last year, and it's kind of scary. Hopefully you won't get any of the side-effects, like lingering headaches.
