I hurt my head


On Wednesday I was tumbling and I was going to do a round off back handspring back tuck on hard wood by my self.I had already did it 5 times in a row and every thing was going great.I started to run and the next thing I new I was lying on my left side on the floor.I felt like a statue my whole body was numb.it felt like I was still in the air.A coach came over and asked me what was wrong and I said that I was numb.I could still feel my hands and feet, and I got up.I then went to the baseball field to get a bag of ice for the bump on my head.I was going to go to tumbling class,but I wanted to go home.When I got home my dad took me to urgent care.I had a cat scan done on my head and a x-ray on my next.I had no fractures and I felt fine except my jaw was tingling.The doctor told me I had a moderate concussion, but didn't go unconscious.My doctor told me I had to take Tylenol because I would be suffering from post concussion insomnia.He said I would have a short attention span and headaches and I would have a short temper.My parent s had to wake me up every two hours when I went to bed to make sure I didn't have any neurological damage.I'm OK now and I going to a physician this afternoon to make sure that I'm ok.

Was it the tube thingy? I have done one of those. There was the MRI and the bone scan which involved tubes too.
