I fell off a table at work yesterday - chair slipped when I stepped down onto it - and landed on my tailbone and hit the base of my skull on the crosspiece of the next table. (Crosspiece was at floor level.) Went to Kaiser and got a CT scan to check for brain bleed, and it was negative. I think my brain might have gotten bounced around though. It was probably the most intense hit on the head I've ever had. I think even worse than when the hook on an elastic strap came loose from my roof rack and hit me just above the eye. My thoughts were all jumbled for a few seconds and I couldn't get a sentence together, and my hands and feet got numb and tingly. Now I'm just stiff and sore and still have a headache.
The doctor's last name was Chng. And I discovered that Kaiser on Lawrence has a secret urgent care. It's called the Ambulatory Treatment Center. I went up there after seeing how crowded the ER was and the admitting nurse there told me about it. When I got there, they told me I needed an appointment, and gave me one that was 45 minutes later, but I got in after maybe 20 minutes.
