Concussion: A traumatic injury to tissues of the body such as the brain as a result of a violent blow, shaking, or spinning.
To be concussed: To experience the above tragedy.
When I was little, a concussion meant running head first into a wall and seeing stars.
A bit later, it changed to falling of those wooden beams that they put up for renovations sake and landing on your back- and on your head (and having to crawl into the house because everything was paining and you thought something in your spine area might have come loose).
First forward, 23 years, many months and some days later, concussion's got a new meaning: sitting in a taxi on a Kampala road.
The amount of times I banged my head against the side of the taxi just yesterday was enough to make me keep checking for an indentation in the side of my skull. Where the hell do those drivers look as they drive. Granted, there's more pothole than road, don't they know about gentle navigations and what not?
The next time I hit my head, am applying for disabled status, I'm a step away from vegitabalism.
On a more pleasant note: I'm finally going to watch The Proposal. Yipeee!
