I got punched in the face by a student today and ended up in hospital with concussion. It sucked. I had a crappy day. I asked for assistance, and didn't receive help. I then got asked why didn't I ask for help. I was not impressed.
 
So sorry to hear this @Spotted Pardalote - sounds frightening and then you didn't get any support either. That's rubbish! Is this the same place that you've written about elsewhere with the tricky relationships with a couple of senior staff?
It's different.

How are you doing now?

I am back in hospital.

This is terrible - I am so sorry this happened to you. Do you have any support at home?
Yes I do.

Good grief. I'd definitely be emphasizing the asked for assistance but none was forthcoming part.
Yeah but first I have to stop sleeping all the time, being so vague and really concussed.

I am back in the hospital. B insisted after he read the list the hospital gave me.
 
. Oddlier than usual?

:hilarious:

So my sister is double doc’ing right now... & I have a small collection of party tricks to bring out when I’m at her place (with her professors and colleagues) who are all brain peeps in various ways (neurologists, physiological psychologists, psychiatrists, soft psychologists, researchers, etc.).

All. I. Have. To. Do. Is to say “watch this” to someone, and then just start describing my behavior after various head traumas / concussions... and then all the brain-peeps start making these... faces... that are fall down funny to watch! They’re not at work so their professional distance “remain calm” is gone and their faces. OMFG. their faces just crack me up.

<cough> That ones of the shrinks has winked at me and said “The fact that you find this amusing, I find clinically significant” (it points towards resiliency) just makes it even better.

Point being?

Yes.

Any kind of odder than usual.

One of the ways I reacted to getting my bell rung one time was to become hyper organized (as easily as breathing, and since I’m ADHD that’s crazy) for about 6 months. It wore off (thank god!) so my brain did manage to heal, but even “good” symptoms? Are still signs of neurological change. And “should” be seen to by a neurologist.
 
So whilst I was trying to get the kid who punched me in the face back into the classroom (despite ringing the office for someone to come and get her no one came) so I was running back to the room to my other high needs kids, then going back to the kid who punched me then back to my other kids and then back to try and get her into the room without getting punched in the face once again then one of the other kids got hurt. So I tried to write out what happened because despite ringing the front office and asking another teacher to turn on the computers so I could settle me other kids - she said I could get my teacher's aide to do it - who was toileting or dealing with a meltdown at the time - well one of my other kids got hurt so I am potentially in trouble for that. I am meant to have written a report about that but I can't get the timeline straight after I got punched in the face.
