    I am a U of M researcher currently working on a concussion study. When you asked how do you know if you have a concussion, the first thing I said out loud 😂, did your bell get rung! Your dad was right also. I just subscribed. After all, I have watched a lot of your videos in the last week. I enjoy them. In addition to working my job remotely, I am a full time caregiver to my husband and we don't travel now. I miss it. Thank you for the tremendous hard work you do making interesting and entertaining travel videos. I am praying for you and especially for Blue's healing. He is so smart! Blessings.

    Wow, that could be scary! Glad you’re okay. If you hit your head and DON’T see a big bump (and blood) on the outside, that’s when you worry!! Because then that means “the bump” is on the inside and that’s a bad concussion. I’ve worked as a surgical assistant for over a decade where we specialize in giving people a checkup from the neck up! 🤕

    Awww that brought fond memories of the last time I was cutting branches. I watched it fall & then watched it bounce back & ricocheted off of my eyebrow. Huge goose egg, as it changed colors for a week. My Dad would've said "It's only a flesh wound"...

    I met a little blue this week. She was 11 weeks old and looked just like blue, but small. Her humans were training in the park when I did a double take. I thought it was blue but then I didn't see a Maria around. Take care of yourself Maria and keep in your med kit some instant cold packs. They'd bring down that swelling and make you feel better fast.

    (This might be a little long) I just got obsessed with van/truck living. Went thru several people's channels until I found yours. I got instantly hooked and now I'm watching yours like I'm watching a movie. I'm legit watching them in order. 😂 Off subject, I think you can build some tiny "pantry cabinets" over your "kitchen" counter. Also, maybe some spray flex seal would work on the exposed metal on your roof that keeps condensation. Love your content!! ❤

  • @WanderingWithWanda
    @WanderingWithWanda Před rokem +1

    Someone get her those bags you squeeze and they pop and get cold. Always ice a bump like that! Keeps the swelling down and you won't have such a severe headache. Make sure you always have extra acetaminophen or ibuprofen on hand.
    New Mexico is stunning, thanks for the video Maria!

    About eight years ago I was visiting a friend and I parked in a little spot across from her trailer and there was a paved Alley, I had to cross to get to her sidewalk and not knowing it was black ice, my feet went straight out from under me and I hit the back of my head so hard I saw Stars. It literally brought tears to my eyes and I got a goose egg on the back of my head at least an inch sticking out and about 4 to 5 in Long. My friend put ice on it and I held it there for a couple hours. I should have went to the hospital but didn't realize how very serious this can be.😢 Maybe you should get checked. Anyhow, hoping you feel better soon 😘

    Your dad is pretty cool. I love it when my daughter calls me...even for silly things or questions. The Land of Enchantment does not disappoint. I love the state and as a van lifer myself I thought about living in the state parks system for $250 for an entire year. You may have had a minor concussion. Your pupils looked equal and reactive to light change. Just be careful. I love your dog.
