Relationships Are Everything

I was bucked off a horse on Saturday, concussion, I do not remember half the day, just bits and pieces.  I do not remember driving home from that ranch.  I was shopping for a horse, that I remember.  Even when I got home, I could not understand why my shoulder hurt so bad. 

Sunday morning coming down (old song)........big pain in my shoulder and neck, hard to move.  Suddenly I remember hitting the dirt, but nothing else.  Then I recall telling this old couple "I will not sue you, don't worry, I'm not like that, just please bring me some water".  The rest is still a foggy dream.

Checking my Blackberry later in the day I saw a few calls from my favorite RE agent, I had missed her call.  I couldn't remember if we even spoke.  I was embarrassed and forgetting is not professional.

I called her and told her what had happened.  She understood and of course was worried about me.  I am the brains of the loan process so it is important that I'm fully functional.

My agents know they can trust me, if they have a bad day I'm there for them. 

This time one of my agents had to help me.  We work as a team, and I love that about her.

This is the first time in several years that I have ever had to call an agent and plead amnesia, I'm sure their aren't many Loan Officers that can say the same with complete honesty.

PS no comments on typos allowed on this blog, still recovering, thanks :)

Ouch that must've hurt!  I concern about you losing your memory however, did you say you had a concussion, did you go to the doctor?  If not please do.

Dee- thanks for your comment and concern

I had a MILD concussion, and I'm fine now.  If you have a more severe one you should definitely visit the doctor.  Friends of mine that are in the medical field clearly state that if there is zero nausea then you just bumped your head and the adrenaline racing through your body over compensates causing slight memory loss.  I know it sounds scary, but I'm confident the ER is not required at this point. 

I also have great health insurance and if I need to use it, I can.

I'm fit as a fiddle :)

Did you go and get checked out -- this sounds more serious that a little bump on the head -- you have entire spaces of time you are not remembering -- go to a doctor.. please .

Go to the doctor, Melissa! Head injuries take a while to show all their symptoms. I am going to call and hound you about this, and you will remember MY calls!

Melissa,

Were you wearing your riding hat?  I am sure you know that no matter how good your horse is they can still take fright.

Glad to hear it was not too serious and hopefully you will be back in the saddle soon.

Hi Melissa, I'm with everyone else here about going to the doctor to get checked out.  But you say you had a mild concussion so maybe you have already gone to the doctor. Take care.~
