- Sharing my recent experience of dealing with a concussion. Over the week, I adjusted, canceled plans, and tried to rest. I eventually felt better and organized lunch with my friend Christine from "Frugal Fit Mom." Join me as I prepare lunch and share one of my big housekeeping tips for the unexpected.

Friends thank you so much for your love and concern. I have been to a Dr. I even had a CT scan and all looks good. I do have an appointment with a neurologist. Again thank you for your comments, love and concern. ❤
Concussions are not generally visible on scans. You can have a concussion with clean scans. Concussions are traumatic brain injuries. I hope your symptoms resolve quickly.
You didn't go to the doctor? I know you said you have experience with head injuries, but hitting your head like that is no joke. Made me think of Natasha Richardson.
See a doctor this is SERIOUS.❤❤❤
I had the best time with you! Can't wait until we get to hang out again :)
Eliminate screens and get lots of rest. You need to see a doctor. You need a CT scan to eliminate complications. It takes from a week to 3 or more months to recover.
Thank you
Don't take this lightly! A friend experienced a similar injury when she ran into a cabinet door. A few days later, she was experiencing some unusual symptoms, and her family took her to ER. She had a stroke! She's lost some of her vision and much of her ability to walk or stand. PLEASE get this checked out.
Please go to a doctor or the hospital. There are too many serious conditions that may have happened to not get checked out. My hubby had a contusion on his brain and it has changed to scar tissue and now fluid. I would want to make sure it isn't a brain bleed. Please get to a doctor.
You could have a subdural hematoma (bruise inside your subdura) which can get worse like going into the OR worse-always go to the ER immediately.
I’m a nurse I worry ❤️
Not seeing a doctor seems unwise.
I am a RN and I agree. This is serious!!
👋🏻 EMT here. Please go to the ER. It’s best to get imaging aswell as being able to get a positive documentation in the case of another ever God forbid Is to happen. Multiple concussions can be even more dangerous, and having it documented can at least give better insight in the future. ❤️
Kimmy, go to the Doctor, please. My good friends husband hit his head and he thought he was fine. He refused medical treatment and his vitals were okay. Seven days later she had to plan his funeral. He had a very slow brain bleed. Even if it turns out to be a concussion, you truly need a Doctor to order whatever tests to make sure that you don't have a brain bleed. Jay's was such a slow bleed that he didn't feel that bad until the end.
I hope you saw a medical professional.
Haven't you seen a doctor yet? If not, please do so.
Did you go get checked out medically?
I prefer to clean on Friday too so I can relax all weekend! So good to see you and Christine together!
Prayers for a speedy recovery! I suffered a concussion in November and it took me a solid 3 months to get back to normal. It was horrible! I found that my short term memory was horrible and I had trouble just getting my thoughts out correctly. Get tons of rest and sleep when you’re tired. It’s just a very very slow process to recover.
Did you go to the hospital to make sure you got a concussion during you you have to take care of yourself You need to go and check on that and make sure it's a concussion not a fractured skull
Christine is wonderful as are you. Hope you feel better soon. Love your fruit salad!
I love Christine! She's such a great you tuber. I'm glad to hear you're taking care of yourself too. Sounds like you hit that hatch hard! Love the video. Thank you!
Love Frugal Fit Mom! She’s hilarious! I also enjoy grapes in my chicken salad too!
Kimmy ur an intelligent beautiful woman, why would u not go and checked over. Xx
Love Frugal Fit Mom! So glad you had a nice visit.
How fun would that have been? 🎉😂😊
Love her too ❤
You and Christine are 2 of my favorite channels. My youtube bestie 😊
Be smart and get medical help. Making excuses is an exercise in futility.
😐
How about not being rude and just simply suggest that she may need to instead of telling her she is irresponsible. 🤦🏻♀️ I think Kimmie is smart enough to know when she needs to.
There’s nothing a doctor can do other than tell you that you have a concussion. There’s no medical treatment for it.
@@jeanne9375I can’t see that she was being rude in her comment. She’s just concerned.
I think the term rude must be something totally different in the US than in the UK & I see it a lot.
@@jeanne9375; she drove herself to and from the store even though she admits she’s probably concussed, definitely not too responsible.
Go to the ER and demand a Neurologist. This is very serious, don't wait any longer !
Please get checked out! We worry about you! ❤❤❤
Noticed the New Kids on the Block t-shirt. I'm a Blockhead too. ❤ Christine from Frugal Fit Mom. She's so much fun. 😊
The best!
Watching on 7/4 - Happy Birthday Mr Toodles 🎉
It was a bad choice on your part not to be seen by a medical professional for this injury! It could have been much worse than you ever imagined and you would have
Craniosacral therapy!!! I’m a practitioner. We work on concussions all the time. Stored trauma is no joke. Catch it now before it gets worse
Thank you Allie
Honestly I love you but I think you are very negligent not to go to the doctor.🥰
I would get checked out to make sure you are doing what is best for you! Take care!
I’m going to share something that I’ve never shared before with you. My dad tripped and hit his head hard on a brick building. They thought it was JUST a concussion. Well, within a few days he started getting really bad headaches. My mom came outside to find him crying in pain. She rushed him to the hospital to find he had a severe head bleed and surgery had to be done immediately to relieve the pressure. Suffice to say, it started with a concussion that led to mom saving his life.
Please watch for signs of anything unusual. This head bleed later resulted in a major stroke.
I love you dearly and don’t want anything to happen to you and that’s why I’m sharing this tragedy with you. It’s hard to believe it can happen over such an innocent diagnosis of a concussion. Please be safe and careful. You mean so much to me.
Love 💕 and Hugs. 💙💙💙
Thank you so much for sharing this with me Linda!
concussions need an Xray to check for brain bleeds!
A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury. Get help even if you don’t think it’s serious. I had one in 2018. Went outpatient 2 years to brain injury clinic at military hospital. They know how it works. My speech also was slurred and stuttering. I still can’t do flouresent lights or loud noise.
Prayers that you have a complete and quick healing! I am just getting into the zone cleaning from your planner (the one that starts in July). I had cleaned for years on Fridays (Home Blessing Day), but in this season of life , I am thankful to learn a new way of breaking things up. Thank you! ❤
Love frugal fit mom. So glad you had a good time. Please take care of yourself.
Seriously. It goes beyond just physical. The longer you take the longer it takes to heal. Especially if it's impacted any nerves or your skull's been impacted
Go to a concussion clinic and have them check you out
I totally feel you on the surprise accident… I recently broke my ankle in 2 places and needed screws and plates put in. I have a little man on the spectrum so things have been a challenge to say the least. Wishing you a speedy recovery ❤️🩹
Thank you Missy! I'm so sorry you broke your ankle. It's hard to have patience when we're moms and have a lot on our plates, especially with little ones. I'm also wishing you a speedy recovery!
@@shesinherapron so true, thank you kindly! Sometimes it really does take a village lol. I’m a silent watcher, love all your videos. Love from Canada 🇨🇦
See a dr please. Also my mum taught me for years always lean the house on Friday but leave your washing for during the wk...so people don't see clothes on the washing line in australia....
Go and get a cat-scan
Omg I love Christine! Found you two this past year, love and appreciate both of your channels 😊 hope you are feeling better!
I love walnuts and cranberries in my chicken salad :) But yours looks splendid too!
What is a 2 and an 8 on the anagram???? Some personality test???
I do my Flylady stuff a little bit every day :) It's quick, easy, and the house stays nice :)
As someone who has had multiple head injuries seek medical help even if you think you know what it is going on...because by chance it easily could've been much, much worse than a concussion and by not seeking medical help you are neglecting you. YOU ARE IMPORTANT. TAKE CARE OF YOU
OUCH! Please see your doctor. As a retired E.M.T. the treatment for concussions has changed dramatically the past several years. Has your short term memory improved from the day of the incident?
Your friend was correct in having you in a dark room with cognitive rest.
Take care! You have an amazing channel. Praying Psalms 91 and Isaiah 53:5.🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm guessing when you pass out you'll decide to go to the hospital
Please make sure you don’t get a brain bleed. Take care
❤❤❤❤I have pervasive concussion syndrome from not taking a concussion seriously. Basically, I now have the symptoms you are describing consistently even 1.5 years after the initial injury. It is difficult but what I learned is that in order to heal your brain needs rest. Unfortunately (I have ADHD too) that means dark and quiet. Initially I had to do 20 minutes in a quiet dark room every one-two hours. The doctor also had me wear blue or rose colored glasses with light (whichever worked in certain lighting). The glasses really helped with the fluorescent lighting! Ear plugs are also a must. I also had to have some eye therapy because focus and tracking movement was difficult. While my symptoms are no longer happening all of the time, I get triggered by light and sound and go back to feeling just like you are describing. I know that with ADHD it is hard (impossible!) to slow down and simply rest your brain. However, I know now that with ADHD it is even harder to function with a brain that doesn’t work right. A concussion is an irreversible brain injury, even if it wasn’t “bad” and we don’t feel bad. Take care of you and all my best!! ❤❤❤
Did you have nausea with your concussion?
@@blueseptember2174 I did for a short time.
Don’t play around with head injuries, seek medical attention as soon as possible. Liam Neeson’s wife died from a head injury when skiing. She thought she was alright, 2 hours later, developed a severe headache and passed away soon after from a epidural hematoma. Always get checked out.
Yes Frugal Fit Mom ☺️ I'm a subscriber to her channel as well.
Nice lunch😋 thanks for sharing & I hope you feel better💕.
Hope you feel better soon!
That’s so fun Christine stopped by-I watch her channel too. Your mixing bowls are so cute!
I just subscribed to your friends channel this morning and then find she is your video right now ! Loved seeing how you and your family have fun singing together. Great video. Thank you ❤️🇨🇦
im so sorry you got a concussion! im glad you are taken the time to heal
I get it. I have ADHD. I can't stand to do nothing. It drives me crazy.
Gosh I have loved so many of your vlogs!! BUT YOU dancing in your intro w shades and moving flawlessly to rap well girl 🫶🫶🫶 freaken LOVED IT!!!....youth-fun-humour right there and then
I can watch it over and over and over again
Our friend Kimmy got moves 🙌🙌
🤣 thanks! 🤪
Take care of yourself. Also where did you get those bowls, they are so cute
I need those bowls too. So cute!
Please go to the doctor, dear Kimmy! Praying for your speedy recovery! ❤️
I love that you and Christine are friends! She's another one of my favorite youtubers!
Love watching kimmy and christine love both there channels both very wise and knowledgeable wot they do
Jimmy - first Mandy, now Christine…is Jessica and Amber next? ❤️❤️❤️
Kimmy - auto correct really does suck!!!
Why have you not seen a doctor?? Repeating yourself and ‘slowing down’???
I am surprised your husband has not taken you to the hospital ER. If there is something serious, you might wait too late until nothing can be done.
❤ Christine. Her exercise videos are exhausting just to watch 😂
I had a stroke by hitting my head. I was throwing up and light affected me. Go to a Dr!!!
Girl, first your finger, now a concussion. We're gonna have to wrap you in bubble wrap.
Right!
😂😂
Where did you get your darling bowls? i hope your feeling better.
That happened to my uncle, and it killed him. Please get this checked out.
Your self diagnosis could be deadly. Not smart.
Hey 2 of my favourite iTunes in the same place at the same time!!!
Go see a Doctor!!! Sorry you are making me angry! Take care of yourself
I’d just watched Christine then went to your video….wow, double the fun
I love that y’all are friends. I have followed you both for years!!!!
You will certainly find something to do and I do hope self care is Your Priority.
Please be careful of post concussion syndrome.
Girl go get an xray stat! This could be serious.
See a doctor, now!
Ouch 🤕 feel better. I love fugal fit mom too.
You need to seek medical attention immediately.
Unless your friend is a DOCTOR how are you making a correct diagnosis? See a professional!
I did. Please see my pinned comment
Go get checked. Head injury can be bad
I follow you both❤it's like two for one❤
Go to the doctor. Head injuries are no joke
Christine is awesome! You two are some of my favorites to watch.
LOVE grapes in chicken salad!
Please take care of yourself, dear
Random question can I freeze leftovers of your clam chowder recipe
No
Should have went to the ER that night
A quick meal. I was trying to figure Costco's price for Chicken salad, Muffins, fruit and Croissants. Plenty for your family's Dinner and you don't have to cook. A hit like you suffered, on your head, shakes your brain beyond brlief. Recovery can be months. Blood clots can be part of the mix. There could be issues that have not yet appeared to you. Take care of yourself. ❤
If your problems with your head took that long I would see a doctor, just to make sure all is ok, my aunt had a Brain bleed from a head injury and didn’t know it. Until she had a CT scan potentially that could have blown and killed her instantly but because of preventive medicine she was saved from that.
Why didn’t you go to Dr?
Yikes!! I just turned 50 and I am recovering from a concussion I got over 5 months ago! I was hit by a car while walking across a cross walk, I didn’t realize I hit my head but a witness told me that I had. I can’t believe I still have symptoms but I go to physio for concussion treatment twice a week. I know every concussion is different but don’t expect to recover as quickly as your kids did, when you’re older it takes longer and also get professional help from a Dr or someone trained for concussion recovery!! Taking proper care early is very important to avoid longterm affects.
I had the exact same thing happen last June! I went to the chiropractor, x rays showed shifted my head(spine) to the side, had to have so much work done to get back in alignment.
Get craniosacral therapy ❤
@@allie8321 I went through so many adjustments and decompression. Had a throbbing headache for 3 straight weeks after it happened
Hey Kimmy! Oh man…I’m sorry that happened to you 🤕😑. Have you called the dr. and see what they suggest to do? I feel so bad, that must’ve been sooo painful. I hope you’re feeling better and better each day. Glad you had a nice time with your friend. ☺️🕊️
K 2:38 immy you really need to see a doctor believe me. I had a friend who didn't think she needed to go. She died from it . PLEASE go see a Doctor!! She left three small children.
Please get it checked❤ I have had a couple concussions over the last couple years. I fell after we were in a car accident that I got a concussion and Did get it checked and that all It takes a long time to heal can take up to a year or more. It's good to have your Doctor check it out and be aware. When?
I had my concussion the first time.I was told no excessive stimulation with my eyes, Rest and in fact, I couldn't go on any electronics for a time. I remember.
Walking outside and just the leaves on the trees moving was too much stimulation from my eyes and head. What many people don't realize is you can get a concussion without even hitting your head. I was seen by a neurologist and he said just banging your head just the movement of jarring your head can cause a concussion. I.
Have boys that have played sports and have gotten concussions? Caring for somebody was one thing And I can remember it being so scary for my kids. I will be praying for healing Kimmy❤ What a fun lunch time Christine is a riot. Watch you both❤ one of my kids is getting married and then our family member is expecting a baby in December. Am excited will make grandbaby #6.
I love the serenading clips! And the yoga pants booty smack. My husband does the same thing. I love he enjoys the view too. lol
How scary 😮!!
I love flylady!
I went to a restaurant called Jason's Deli. They put crushed pineapple in their chicken salad. It's sooo good.
I fell back in January and hit the back of my head. Felt a little fuzzy for a few minutes and thought I would get the ice pack and rest awhile.. nope hubs put me in the car and off to the ER. Turned out to be a 5mm brain bleed and as I am on aspirin regime the first thing they gave me was meds to counteract the asprin. I spent the night in the hospital being monitored by Neuro and released next morning after another CT to confirm that the bleed had not gotten worse. I can confirm that I had a headache for three weeks..pretty much how long it took for the bleed to heal. Heavenly Father looked out for me and he's looking out for you.
If you are really having the symptoms you’re describing, get checked out. Your brain is nothing to be messed with. It can create more life threatening or serious issues down the line.
I fell and I was worried about my ankle! I had skinned knee but no problem with my ankle! Then my upper arm hurt! By night my side and lower ribs which I guess have been
Broken at sometime according to doctors! So that spot has caused me trouble! It is getting better but then I do something like lift a stack of cast iron pans!
