Before the incident
I was putting in a song into the cue for the music playing so I didn 't see the ball coming.
What happened
During my recreational therapy group A basketball bounced off the rim of the basketball hoop and I got hit on the top of the head with a basketball on the crown of my head and I had a pair of glasses on the top of my head that the basketball landed on crushing them onto my head. I was then also hit in the head not as hard with a football later in the same group. Both instances were accidents the adolescent patients did not purposely throw the ball to hit me. After the accident I developed a headache that got worse when focusing my eyes on a paper in the bottom half of my field of vision and mild dizziness.
