Ow

So I went to Goodwill this morning to buy a picture frame as part of a gift. I was crouching down to look at a frame, and suddenly this very hard, very heavy thing lands on my head. Turns out it was a heavy, metal, corner shelf case that had fallen out of a woman's shopping cart. Management was called. I got a chair and an ice pack. There happened to be an off-duty nurse in the store who felt my head for injury--no cuts but a lump coming up. I was a little uncertain on my feet but eventually was okay to drive home.

I'm home now, putting ice on the hurt spot (which still hurts). My pupils are stable and both the same size. My temp's okay so far, so I'm guessing there's no concussion, but I'm feeling a little odd in the tummy. Maybe it's just the stress and upset.

One way or another, the incident has thrown off all my plans for this morning, and I'm trying to catch up.

Not a happy girl.

You have my sympathies. A friend was helping me take a roll of carpet to the dump the other day. Needed to load the roll into an elevator. Friend didn't understand when I was telling him to come into the elevator with me to pull the roll in so it would clear the top of the elevator and slammed into the roll to drive it through the door.

Carpet rammed through the door and into my jaw so hard it slammed my mouth shut and drove the back of my head hard into the elevator wall. No cuts on me either, but boy howdy, were my chimes rung and rung loudly...
