(Not dick-sizing or exaggerating)
Four day Adderall binge. Standard no sleep, very little food, tons of cigarettes, oxycodone, wine, redosing stupidly, auditory and visual hallucinations (not horrifying as I am bipolar). I was hydrated. Comedown had started. Had Benzos but hadn't taken them yet. (Bummer.)
It got ugly when I was in my bathroom at 3:00 a.m. Or thereabouts. Probably applying makeup, senseless. I got dizzy and stepped backwards which made me fall backwards in the bathtub.
The back of my head hit the soap dish full impact. All my weight. PAIN. Like that pain that does not register immediately, but you know it's serious, and then it's omfg.
i couldn't even get out of the bathtub. Blood running all over as I had split open my head. Screamed for my boyfriend to help. Screaming in pain. Like, OOWWWW lol
He rushed in and pulled me out. Checked my head and said this is a concussion and the split is too big. Hospital. I said noooo. He said hell yes and helped me get in the car.
One of my eyes was...not facing in the same direction, either. Seemed to be a bad sign.
Went to ER and they took me right away - thinking I had a stroke. Roomful of six medical staff docs and nurses asking me questions. I didn't mention all the substances and tried REALLY hard to not look wasted. I answered their questions, they had me smile...checking for stroke. Move my eyes. Head still bleeding. Acting sober as a judge. No idea how I pulled it off.
Then ran tests on my heart and drew blood. Had MRI. Those are fun. Not. Felt like l was wrapped in a tube of toothpaste, really loud, laying on back, head ouchies. Took 45 minutes.
Head still bleeding. But not as bad. Nurse in ER trimmed the back if my hair (lovely!).
Dr came in said tests were fine. Sigh of relief on blood test....what were they testing??? Not drugs. Whew.
He said we needed to do staples and did I want pain relief around the area first? I asked how painful the
staples were and he said not terrible.
I skipped the pain meds and he distracted me and then kerchinked 8 staples fast, lmao. Hurt bad. lol
i pulled all this off sober. Said I slipped on bathmat.
went home with a concussion and spaced out for weeks. Couldnt read. Just spaced out. Emotionally blank. Shortly, thereafter, staples removed and dr checked out the healing. All fine. Went home. Resumed life.
