My head...

[fabrisse]

Last Monday, I told my sister I'd do laundry. I hate laundry. I recognize it needs to be done, but I hate it.

Anyway, I am not a tall woman. The people who built this house apparently expected it to be populated by giants because I can't empty the top load washer without standing on a stool. It's just a single step, and the rim of the washer's tub gets my ribs every time.

Last week, in transferring a load from the top load washer into the front load dryer, I did something that caused me to slip off the step. Usually, that would just be a frustration or a possible scene in one of the old Commedia scenarii, but I managed to hit my head hard enough to have a multi-day headache and to need a c-collar for a day. (Like an ankle or knee brace, slipping on a c-collar should never make you go "aaah" in relief as this one did.)

I don't think I sloshed my brain meat too much, but I didn't let myself drive for 48 hours because turning my head both hurt and made me a bit dizzy.

I'm fine now, but I've been kind of out of it.

aieeee! I wondered why you were out of it. Take care of those brain meats!

Ye-ow! I hope you're okay. Sending best wishes.

I'm glad you're alright. Bumping your head like that is worrying

[fabrisse]

Thank you. I owe you an email and a zoom. I haven't made much progress on restructuring anything yet.

Hope all is well with you.

Thank you so much. It's been exterior headaches (if that makes sense) off and on for a couple of weeks. Nothing internal.

You saw me with a full blown concussion. You get it.

I owe you a call. I have class tonight, but I can work with your timing, mostly, for the rest of the week. Huge hugs

AUGH! I am so sorry to hear it. I hope you're feeling better soon, and if you're not, maybe go get checked out by a professional? It's super alarming that you got hurt that badly. Thinking of you.

The concussion was very concerning.

I'm available after4 today, and most of tomorrow afternoon and evening. I do plan to log on for the OTW board meeting tomorrow night, though.
