P-Day Change

I am sending a quick note to let you know that our pday has for sure been moved to Friday. I believe it starts next week so as far as I know you won't be getting an email from me on Monday but you will be getting one next Friday. Our branch president gave us permission to do laundry before next Friday so we don't have to worry about running out of clothes. He also gave us permission to send a quick email home to our families to let them know.

Another thing, I am hesitant to say this because I don't want you to freak out but decided it would be better to tell you now rather than waiting until next Friday. It may not be the best idea because you won't hear from me again until next Friday but just know that I am fine.

Monday I don't remember exactly what I was doing but I was on my bed and stood up quickly and hit the back of my head on the bar. Later Monday night I got a really bad headache and my eyesight was a bit fuzzy. I didn't think much of it, took some ibuprofen, and went to bed. Tuesday I woke up and whenever I stood up I got dizzy and lightheaded. I got ready slowly and took breaks in between and then decided I was fine to go to class. We got in class and started our daily planning session and I wrote everything in the wrong column. I then started bawling and continued crying for a good fifteen minutes for absolutely no reason, luckily only my companions saw this. My companions then decided we needed to go to the health clinic. It was great fun walking to the health clinic crying my eyes out.
Anyway...I saw a doctor and he determined that I had a minor concussion. So they kept me in the health clinic all day Tuesday. My companions came and checked on me several times and brought me meals and the Elders in our district were able to come give me a blessing. I spent all day Tuesday up until dinner in the health clinic sleeping. The medical staff took great care of me and made sure I was comfortable and doing ok.

Since Tuesday I have been improving more each day. I have been taking it easy. During gym time I just use a yoga mat and stretch/sleep and I have been trying not to think too much because that's what the doctor told me to do. Yesterday I took multiple study breaks/naps during study time. My companions and district have been really good about making sure I don't push myself too hard and I am doing ok. My teachers have been great as well at making sure if my head starts hurting that I just put my head down and not pay attention to what they are saying. They have let us take a break from teaching lessons the past two days so as not to stress me out and cause me to push myself to think of what to say during lessons.

It has been hard the past couple days to focus on myself getting better and not focus on the language or anything else. But because I have taken the time to rest I am feeling much better. Today I feel completely fine and my headache is very minimal. I have even done some language study this morning and we have been doing SYL today and I have had no problems thinking of what to say. I know that I am being watched over and protected and that I will be completely back to normal within the next day or two if not later today. Don't worry about me, I really am ok.

I love you all! Thanks for everything and I will write you again next Friday!
