are concussions for real? (1 Viewer)

[mr. furley]

one of the apparent leading indications of a concussion is alleged memory loss. people report "losing time" or "forgetting what they were doing".

i haven't played football and/or been ko'd in 25 years. i forget things all the time. ask me what happened 3 weeks ago on Tuesday. no idea.

is this concussion talk more anti-Trump media hype designed to shift our attention from the real issues of the day? 

or do you actually believe man landed on the moon?

Hmmmm, maybe an acute case of concussion by alcohol?  Not quite sure where I got that idea from...

How many times have you opened a web browser, then have no idea why?

I'm quite certain I got concussed in 2nd grade, not that anyone did anything about it.  During recess, some kid jumped off the jungle gym and landed on my head.  I must have gotten knocked out, 'cause when I had my senses again, the 4th-6th graders were out on the schoolyard.  I managed to get back to my class, but I believe they sent me home.  

Now, any time I have a senior moment, I blame it on Apollo 13.

How many times have you opened a web browser thread, then have no idea why? 

All the time.

Usually, the intent is p0rn. But by the time my PC is done starting up, I've lost interest.

How come the flag in the moon landing photos looks like it's blowing? :eyeroll:

 

[psychobillies]

I don't know how many times I've been knocked out, but if alcohol can cause concussions, then that explains a lot.  I've probably had about a bazillion of those.   Most of them were fake.

Very real.  

https://footballguys.community.foru...-had-one/?do=findComment&comment=18753038I had a concussion (my first one) just last year and it was one of the scariest things that has ever happened.  

I know that sounds dramatic, but that's truly how I feel about it.

Got knocked out playing softball. I regained consciousness and watched the rest of the game apparently. About a half hour after getting knocked out (and being conscious) I "came to". I was sitting in the grass with my team packing up our stuff. I had no recollection of any of it. I was really sore and my head was killing me and I had no idea why. When I asked my team if I had hurt myself they just kind of laughed. When I asked again they realized I really didn't remember what happened and off I was to the ER to get checked out.

Had a pretty significant concussion that took almost a full year for me to totally recover from. I eventually remembered getting hurt and even about a 30-60 second period after I regained consciousness, but the rest of that 30 minute period is a total blank.
