how many lumps?

[thoreau]

When he asks Pete to stay for tea and asks how many 'lumps' of
sugar he wants, he replies "Oh, three or four". Bugs mallets him
and gives him four lumps on his head!

as I was getting ready to go this morning - I leaned down to plug my phone in and standing up bashed my head really hard against the hearth of my fireplace. It literally knocked me down and I sat on the floor in a daze for a moment.

So I've been sitting here for 1/2 an hour icing my head before heading into work. I didn't break the skin but I managed to give myself quite a lump.

A few years ago, I was doing some cleaning in the garage and hit my forehead against an overhang -- I definitely broke the skin. I told people at work that I was in a bar fight, and some guy grabbed my head and slammed it against the bar.

Some of them believed me...

Oops, I meant to start with: I hope you're OK and not concussed or anything...

These are the times when we breathe a sigh of relief that no one else was around to see. heh!

Ouch.

Do you know how long that moment in daze was? If you aren't sure, you might really consider getting checked for a concussion.

no more than a minute. I did call and talk to my doctor - and he said to monitor myself carefully. but that it didn't sound to him like I'd had a concussion.

i also temporarily suffered from terret's syndrome.

At least you have hair to cover the lump. Some of us aren't so lucky.

I refer you to this episode:

Yeah...There are too many times when "I meant to do that", just doesn't work.

(Has anyone ever believed that line?)

[cuyahogarvr.livejournal.com]

Ouch! Hope you feel better.

Better three or four than a whole lotta lumps, a WHOLE lotta lumps!

Hopefully you won't get the tmree-month headache I once did when I ran (yes, ran, at full speed) into a tree branch. You would have, too, if there was a guy with a chainsaw chasing you...

Long story.

I do have a dull headache - but I think I'll be fine. but dangit that hurt!

thanks Kent for your note :)

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

[baerenjagd.livejournal.com]

LOL! Have u seen Turret's Guy? BOB SAGET! Cracks me up.

Tea please.. coffee gives me such a headache!

[cubdaddy.livejournal.com]

Hope you didn't do serious harm to yourself? Sounds like we both missed out on the handy/eye coordination gene thing?

[nudewoody.livejournal.com]

Glad you're okay. Now, is this what you meant by mental safety?

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

LOL - perhaps.

e-me about a tea sipping date next week?

[broduke2000.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear you're OK, and your hearth hurt doesn't hurt.

Much.

[septimuswarren.livejournal.com]

Glad you're okay, baby. What a scary situation.

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

yeah - it hurt like a motherfucker. But I'm hoping that with a night's rest and laying 'low' this evening - that I'll be back to battery.
