Love On The Rocks 1
Ok, yeah, I know I'm early for Valentine's Day. Early, you say? Yeah, early for 2020. I had all these great ideas in my head, but, couldn't pull the trigger. It's been a suckie two weeks. Found out from a former student who now works with me, that two people I thought I knew, were not even close to who I thought they were. Then, last Wednesday, I slipped on developing ice outside the doors at work, fell hard, and hit my head on the border/paving stones serving as retainers on the flower bed. Dang, that hurt. Way more painful than when I broke my face back in 97, or took the softball off the chin in 94, dislocating my jaw. After shaking off the cobwebs, but, not the headache, I got up, and went back inside to call my wife. After asking someone to put some melter down, I started back to my car. You probably know where this is going. lol Yeah, slipped and fell again, at the exact same spot. This time, I hurt my knee. I was SO freaking mad at my stupidity. Drove to the hospital (only about three minutes away), and my wife met me there, after my son drove her. (It's only about three minutes from our house. Small town. lol) Long story short, there is an upside to having a head injury when you go to the hospital. You get seen by a Dr. much faster. lol In the end, I had a concussion, and needed to stay in a darkened room, with no screens for 24hs!!! I've got residual nausea, headache, anxiety, difficulty chewing, and fatigue. Fortunately, the blow to the head was on the right side. I don't think the reconstructed face on the left would have held out from a blow this hard. So much other bad news I got this week, has left me feeling quite carped out.
