Ow

[scarlettina]

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.

Wow. Sounds as if you're okay, and that's good.

Meanwhile, a story can come from all of this, can't it? Perhaps you're knocked out by the whack and awaken in a strange land, a la Wizard of Oz?

Or the knock causes you to have new powers such as being able to speak Cat.

Or Goodwill is so shaken by the situation that they offer to do anything and arrange a new job created especially for you!

The possibilities are endless.
