Parkour jam- head injury

Long story how I got a concussion.
I took Trake and his friends to a Parkour jam with some "pro" guys from Colorado .
Well, there's a bunch of young guys and Beatrice & me.
I can't do very many cool tricks but I can swing from the bar over the foam pit & flip.
Problem was....
The foam pit was a way shallower in one part than the main part.
I somehow landed on that shallow part- on my head. My hairclip jammed into my head & shattered.
I sat there a while, in the foam pit.
Confused, nauseous, mad!
I climbed out & felt as though I was going to pass out.
I stayed for the boys to practice.
3 days went by & my head was klingon me.
I went to urgent care- they sent me to the ER.
Lots of tests. $5000 billed to insurance- gasp, I know. ($750 we owe-stupid heAlthcare)
Small concussion.
Headache for 3 weeks.
No exercise.
Kill me now!
