I was getting frustrated because it was taking so long and I kocked the bowl I was peeling them into on the floor and scared myself. I jumped and landed on the carrots and turned around as I fell so that the back of my head came down on the cutting board and down to the corner between the floor and my low cabinets.

Dear BeefThief, I looked this up for you (bold is mine):

http://www.brain-injury.org.nz/html/concussion.html posted:

CONCUSSION

A concussion, also known as a mild traumatic brain injury, occurs from a blow to the head or violent shaking. It is a very common injury in New Zealand, with approximately 24,000 cases every year.

Signs and Symptoms
Some immediate signs that a person has sustained a concussion include:

� Appears dazed

� Confused

� Poor balance and lack of coordination

� Answers questions slowly

� Runs in the wrong direction

� Forgets events that occurred before and after impact

� Loses consciousness � but it is important to remember that a person can sustain a concussion without losing consciousness

A person may complain of:

� Headache

� Nausea and vomiting

� Double or blurred vision

� Confusion

� Fatigue

� Poor concentration

� Memory problems

� Sleep difficulties

� Irritability

� Sensitivity to noise and light

� Ringing in ears

Concussion Advice
If you have had a concussion, or think you have a concussion
TAKE IT SERIOUSLY and see your doctor.

Signs to watch for
Problems could arise over the first 24 hours. You must go to the hospital if you:

� Have a headache that gets worse

� Are very drowsy or can�t be woken up

� Can�t recognise people or places

� Pass out or have a blackout

� Vomit more than 3 times

� Behave unusually or seem confused

� Have seizures

� Have weak arms or legs, or are unsteady on your feet

� Slurred speech

The person looking after you needs to get you straight to the hospital or call 911 if they notice any of the above symptoms. Don�t hesitate � remember, it is better to be safe.

Sleeping
It is important not to go to sleep in the first 4 hours. After that, a normal night�s sleep is needed, at the normal time. If sleep seems strange in any way, the person looking after you needs to know to rouse you until you can say a word or two, then let you go back to sleep.

If there is any worry about the severity of the blow, it is safest on the first night to gently rouse the sleeper every 2 hours during the night, and ask them to answer to simple questions. If a person cannot be woken normally, then medical help must be sought.

Drinking
Do not drink alcohol or take sleeping pills for at least 48 hours.

Driving
Do not drive for at least 24 hours. You can drive again when you stop feeling giddy and you feel well enough; if you have any concerns, talk to your doctor.

Pain relief
It is safe to take paracetamol for the headache. Don�t take medication containing aspirin or dispirin for the next 4 days. This type of of medicine can make you bleed more from cuts and bruises.

If you hit the back of your head and got blurry vision then hit the front of your head to fix it

If you hit both sides too you get xray vision

Man..what a way to go. "Local man obtains concussion from carrots, posts on the internet about it, and promptly has an aneurysm in his sleep."

OP: You may have what's called a "Contusion", which develops more seriously overtime compared to a concussion.
