Happy to hear you are doing good Glen. You can never underestimate a head knock/injury - so many factors to consider and each event is different for others.

SNIP from one of my previous posts -

24 years ago I passed out at Target, fell back head first onto the concrete floor. Halo skull fracture and impact seizure - I "woke" in the ER that day. Took me out of work for nearly a month So I have some experience here. Consulted with the neurologist who worked on me and others during follow up care. Bottom line is there is still much to learn about the brain and it's many differences between us. He said he has treated folks with damage like mine, generally vehicle/motorcycle related, and some (like me) luckily turn out just fine. He also treated folks with minor bumps to the head who suffered long term/permanent damage.

Flip side is non head/brain events. Last week I had a radical nephrectomy (right kidney cancer) performed using latest robotic techniques. You would think this is something really major...well it is. But medicine has really advanced. I went into surgery 0730 and by 1800 I was walking the hallway under careful guidance from my nurse. I went home the next day at 1500 with a my-onQ pain pump installed. Two days later I pulled the pump tubes out of my main scar and stopped the narco drugs at night.

So realistically you and I were in-patient for roughly the same amount of time. Remarkable! Definitely pay attention to what your body is saying - if you get dizzy grab something close or better find a place to sit. You have the water consumption down - good on you!
