Last night, I took a tumble and hit my head. I was fine. My head hurt a bit, but I fell hard. this morning, i woke up and my pillow was wet. there's this pinkish grey stuff coming out of my ears and my nose is running with this watery clear fluid. any ideas what this may be? should I see a doctor? Thanks!!

I'm not one to ever go to the emergency room, but in the case you need to go.

April fools anyone?

Go to the doctor, you could have brain swelling occurring as we speak. That fluid could be cerebral fluid, which should not be coming out of those areas. GO NOW!!

Scenario One: This is an april fools joke, which is not funny (worrying people you don't know who cannot see you about brain injury is not something I consider funny)

Scenario Two: This is actually happening. Call 911, do not try to drive.

I agree.

Not funny if not true, not funny if true.

In either case, I think you need some medical attention.

agnes!

Get off the computer and call 911. And please let us know how you are later.

This has to be an April Fools joke. If it is not go to the ER now.

 

[wdwfan16]

If it is not an April fools joke then go to the ER or Dr. ASAP otherwise .

 

[Christine]

I *get* April Fool's and jokes, but that's just not funny if it a "joke."

 

[Disney Doll]

I am going to assume it is not an April's Fools joke.

Go to the ER now.

OP, the pinkish stuff is probably your brain which was liquified by the fall. It's probably already too late - I suspect by now too much has leaked out for you to be able to read this and it probably just looks like gibberish to you, but just in case here's what you need to do. It's extremely important that you follow all these steps exactly or you will do more harm than good. First, get a bicycle pump, a bowl of salt water, 3 tylenol and a raw chicken. Then take the vcbaoiu gkjsg sljksgthjp glsitg. fgskjgt;lk. sl;kgj;s.llkgjjbbb. gfn;lskdt r89o8xfgn glksjhjmh;hgvut. kdhKljdzhf;lkk gbmjhds awws;akzdhz.



Seriously, I think this is an April Fools joke. It's the "pinkish grey stuff" that makes me think it must be. The problem is that it isn't all the far fetched given some of the medical issues people ask about on here! I could totally see someone actually asking a question like this. I think if you're going to do a medical related April Fools joke on the Dis it needs to be screamingly obvious, like "My arm was just ripped off at the shoulder by the weed eater, the bleeding has almost stopped so can I wait till morning to go to my regular doctor or do I have to go to the ER?"

OP, if somehow you actually aren't joking please have someone drive you to the ER now.

I think you oughtta video tape it and put it on youtube. That way we can see the evidence and make a proper diagnosis.

I'm sorry, y'all!! April Fools!!! Actually, the idea came from something real. I went to bed last night with a little make up still on and when i woke up this morning, there were pink blush marks on my pillow. the way the light was hitting the pillow, it was reflecting some grey abnd i went from there.
Seriously though? If i had pinkish grey goo dripping from my ears, do you all really think I'd be concious, let alone able to type???

Actually, yes you can. This is why we were worried.

It was not funny.

 

[Ohiodislover]

Not cool, not funny.

I'm not a doctor but I play one on the disboards......

It was in very poor taste.

Bah don't let people get ya' down! I'm a big 4/1 fan, and you should have kept people on the hook longer.

I hope you took a picture of the marks and shown them to people, using the same story, to get their "opinion" in person. That would have been top notch!
