Well done, self

[jethrien]

Managed to walk backwards at full speed into a marble pillar while leading a group of clients. Bashed my head quite nicely. When one eye was a little more dialated than the other, my coworkers insisted I go to the emergenccy room. (I now owe cookies to the one who took me and sat with me for the entire time.) Three hours later, I'm officially fine.

Not how I planned to spend my day, no.

(Also, emergency room doc was super weird. Asked all the right questions, but in the oddest order and with some very random questions mixed in. And told me a delightful story about a guy who had a head injury, was released, went home and didn't get out of bed for four days, and they had to remove his arms and still haven't figured out why. Seriously, that was pretty much the entire story. Very reassuring, Mr. Doctor Man. He then assured me I'd be fine, and suggested either a Motrin or a beer.)

Did you ask for a prescription for the beer? :)

It's important to get that sort of thing covered by health insurance.

I was just thinking that a prescription for beer would be an awesome keepsake.

Yikes! I hope embarrassment is the worst of your injuries.

So, I come home, and I'm sitting with my DS, and calming down--got some time to myself, got out of work a little early, generally trying to let off a little of the tension of the past few days.

Then my wife calls to tell me that she spent a chunk of the day in the emergency room for a head injury but she's fine now. And my shoulders go "CRUNCH!" back into stiffness.

I just can't wait to see what happens tomorrow. Maybe our apartment will explode while we're at work.

Eep! Glad everything worked out okay. And until you got to the part about the doctor being really insensitive about how nervous you might be about having a head injury, I was sure that he asked questions out of order as some secret process to be sure that you were actually okay. Except, yeah, not. Weirdo doctor does not make a head injury better. Take it easy!

It was more weird than actually disquieting. I was pretty sure at that point I was fine. (By the time I actually saw a doc, it was hours afterwards and I was feeling better, not worse.)

Oh man! I hope you're feeling okay. And you did the right thing, going to the ER, even if the doctor was an ass.

Ack! Head-bonking is no fun. But hey, at least there were no staples required! :) Hope you're still feeling better.

They probably mixed him up with some other patient who needed gangrenous arms removed. "Er, yes. We 'had' to remove your arms. Why? We're not quite sure."
I'm glad you ended up not being injured. Hopefully you don't have an epidural hematoma like that actress chick who died after hitting her head in a minor ski accident and feeling just fine afterward.

You have it out for Chuck, don't you? ;)

Yeah, 'cause I'm really going to sleep well with that possibility in my head. Never mind that, every time I woke up last night/this morning, I spent several minutes watching Jethrien to make sure she was still breathing and REM-ing normally.

I really need to learn how my father lives on five hours of sleep a night. I don't think I'll survive children without that skill.
