    I got hit so hard in our PIAA State Championship game that I thought I died, I blacked out for 10 minutes. I woke up thinking I was in heaven…hahaha…the doc told me that I was about a centimeter or two from being paralyzed. Thank God that didn’t happen or no more football for me. HB’s a harder job than I originally thought, but somebody’s gotta do it.

    @eddiepetrie32 yup, stop playing contact sports. They don’t know much and they keep finding out that concussions are more serious than they thought. Four isn’t the end of the world, but take it easy

  3. XBillums says:

    @pullhp123 you get 6 concussions per year? Dude your not fine. Doctors don’t know much about concussions and are just discovering the long term effects and they’re bad., They mess up your life big time like Alzheimer disease. Stop playing ASAP…

    I found a website for a study that is looking into head injuries (like concussions) and sleepiness. You can check it out at HeadSleepStudy. org

    I just graduated high school and I’ve already gotten four concussions in football haha. I heard after two you get permanent brain damage?

  12. ridingisasport says:

    Yep, it sure did.

  13. AJMarshall27 says:

  14. ridingisasport says:

    It was still a few hours before I got to the hospital. 30 min. tack down , 15 min. drive home, 30 min shower and eating, 10 min. drive to hospital.then 4 hours before I even saw a doctor.

  15. AJMarshall27 says:

    yea it sucked alot. it was painful put now im fine, the bone was out of my skin it looked fucked up but you know cant do anything about it i got rushed to the hospital. and you at less there was a nurse was near you damn i was like a hour drive to my housethen a 20 minute drive to the hospital

  16. ridingisasport says:

    The nurse works in a retirement home, not a hospital. But man, your thing with the ATV sounds like it SUCKED.

  17. AJMarshall27 says:

    at less the nurse was there but i broke a leg while driving my atv damn it sucked i was like 1 hour drive from my house and it toke longer because i can’t shift the gear because of my leg it sucks and the atv was totaled lol.

  18. ridingisasport says:

    lol. Good one.

  19. ridingisasport says:

    No… the arena was right beside the stable so my instructor does stalls and such while I cool down. When I fell she came running over, as well as a nurse who owns a horse there.

  20. AJMarshall27 says:

    that sounds funny but thats really sucks. was anuone watching you? or there with you at that time?

  21. ridingisasport says:

    Sideways. I had the reins down and my feet out of the stirrups. He spooked and took off. I had nothing to help me stay on so I fell.

  22. AJMarshall27 says:

    yea thats ture they should be more careful and watch people. how did you fall off a horse?

  23. BinkieMcFartnuggets says:

    Haha, helmets designed specially to detect concussions, that’s kind of backward. I’m glad they don’t design airbags that can detect death.

  24. ridingisasport says:

    Yah… I spent 4 hours in the emergency room and nobody looked at me. I could have had a seizure and died and nobody would have found out.
