I'm back in UK now , not a wind up btw EZY1894 left Marrakech for Manchester at 2000. flight ironically diverted into bilboa to take a passenger off and to nearest hospital. Feel.much better though but going to get myself checked out as stated
thanks for your concerns. I had my concerns about flying but flew anyway. Had a great time BTW despite the incident. I'm going to pack a shower mat next year.
Knew that one got diverted. A second EZY flight was also diverted.

What stopped you going when you got home though. One of the last things I've been advised do, is go to sleep.

Now I know the OP is home, I can tell you about one guy I saw fall and hit his head. The actual fall is a long story, but the resulting head injury from just a few seconds of unconsciousness is a very much changed personality with bouts of anger and depression he tries very hard to hide. It's been over a year now, with no signs of improvement. This type of injury should never be taken lightly, sleep and flying must be the 2 worst possible reactions to a head injury.

Sleep is only dangerous because it covers up the symptoms of concussion like dilated pupils, slurred speech or coma. @clid61's symptoms were clear already.

Sleep and rest are the two best treatments for concussion. If you aren't going to see a doctor, you may as well rest. You'll either die in your sleep or start to recover. I wouldn't roll those dice.
