December 1st, what a wonderous day. Not.
To sum up, I did a clumsy thing yesterday - I slipped and fell out of my shower head first into the corner of my vanity, almost cracking my skull, creating a nice new 3 inch "part", knocking me unconscious in a pool of blood. Well, suffice to say, I survived - but I spent the day trying to recover and an ER visit resolving in the fact that I have a concussion and a large cut in my idiot head.

So I give you the cleaned up corner of my vanity (impact was the white corner of the vanity, left of the toilet paper dispenser and just right to my only perfect gesture).
I spent the morning in contact with my office saying that I was not going to be in - I was barely able to stand up, dizzy with an instant headache. Then my neck was all wrenched up from part of the impact. I am such an idiot. I was also experiencing bad tenitis, ringing in my ears and a little blurred vision. I decided not to attempt to drive into work. I then crawled on my hands and knees to the kitchen to stock up on water and "managed" to use the bathroom before crawling into bed. I slept thru a better part of the day, while calling the office for any updates.
Late afternoon I was feeling a little better, but was having a little memory loss from yesterday. A little scary, but a complication from a concussion. I accepted it and continued to rest and then later had a little soup.
I'll be going into the office tomorrow, rain or shine - I cannot stand being in this state. I'll try to recover over the weekend. I already miss my cycling - and I'm a bad patient....i miss being out there riding and the wind thru the lacerations in my hairline....the frosty air, deer eyes caught in the lamps of my Blair Witch Projectness....
Life is Still Good....
