That's typical. You are surely much better at home.

I wanted to try to go to work today but I'm still too tired. Don't know about tomorrow.But I'm also fed up of being in bed.

Forgot to tell that I ended up getting 15 stitches in my arm.

As an EMT and retired Ski PAtroller, I have seen your reaction many times in individuals who had actually suffered a severe closed head trauma. Mark Donohue is an example that always comes to mind:
From wikipedia:
"Midway through the 1975 F1 season, Penske abandoned the troublesome PC1 and started using the March 751. ....
. A track marshal was killed by debris from the accident, but Donohue did not appear to be injured significantly. .....
Moderator cut: 1-2 sentences and link
A headache resulted, however, and worsened. After going to the hospital of Graz the next day, Donohue lapsed into a coma from a cerebral hemorrhage and died"

I was able to work from home throughout the week. I'm absolutely fed up of being in bed. Felt a bit dizzy on Thrusday but have been okay so far. I'll go back to work on Monday. Bruises are their worst, it'll take a lot of time for them to disappear.

You've had more than enough rest, you should be okay.

Woke up dizzy yesterday and ended up staying at home one more day. Went back to work today but on a lighter schedule. I wanted to stay until 6 PM but my boss showed up to "kick me out".

Well so much for your bright idea about not wanting to miss work, when you first had the accident and really -needed- to go to the hospital, but refused when the ambulance came to take you.

You've missed work already. And you've been stuck working part time at home, spending days and days and days in bed, being dizzy...

Because why? Because you didn't want to miss work, and you don't get along with your father.

You have a *brain injury.* You've already been diagnosed, you should've gone to the hospital in the first place - and then the second time, when you actually went, you should've been admitted instead of insisting on going home. You *obviously* were not able to get the care you needed at home - or you would've been better by now. Concussions are nothing to play around with. They can kill. You're lucky to be alive, and you were foolish to reject the medical care that was recommended to you.

My father is the one who doesn't get along with me. I will compensate the company later by working an extra 2 hours a day.

And well, my boss is out of town for the rest of the week so that way I can follow my normal schedule. Besides, who said I'm not better by now?

Noone self discharges the day after a cerebral haemorrhage.

Noone frets about not being able go to work, or work fulltime just days after a cerebral haemorrhage.

If you had had a cerebral haemorrhage, you most definitely wouldn't be better by now.

Or next week.

Or next month.

Or possibly even next year.

So in answer to your question, I say you are not better by now, but to clarify, your problem has nothing to do with an imagined cerebral haemorrhage.

You might also want to think twice about continuing this ridiculous charade, which trivialises a condition which is fatal for a significant number of people, and permanently disabling for an even greater number.

While we're at it, if your father really was a doctor, Im very disappointed that you haven't absorbed enough medical information over the years to put a bit more effort into constructing a slightly more convincing story.

Like I said weeks back, this thread always smelled fishy.
