You know - I've always heard that head wounds bleed unbelievably.
And now, I can say that, without hesitation, that statement is true.
Today - our air purifier arrived. In all my excitement, I came home and found a location for it, moved the hutch to plug it in and BAM
A heavy glass Pitcher fell on my head.
I never saw it coming. Frankly it never occurred to me that it would fall.
I was holding my head and leaning against the side of the hutch, Jon ran in as I was getting up saying OH MY GOD OH MY GOD I'M BLEEDING - and the volume of blood was huge.
I, of course, panic immediately - no one should be losing that kind of blood....
He is calm, got a dish towel and applied pressure. He is expecting to take me to the ER. We cleaned me up a bit and looked at what I was sure was a gash that required a minimum of 10 -12 stitches.
It was a small dot - too small for even one stitch and not deep at all.
How embarassing. I was sure that it a huge gash - I mean - you had to see the blood POURING off my head! I should need a transfusion!!!!
We put an ice pack on it. It clots up pretty quick. I looked at it in the mirror - I now have strawberry blond hair on that side of my head.... hee hee hee - all Jon could say to that was "Women"
I'm ok - I don't even have a headache - though I am a little bit tired. He had me take my contacts out so he could watch my pupils.... in the event of concussion.... though that seems doubtful.
The pitcher is still unharmed on the floor. The wall looks like someone got brutally murdered.
The air purifier will have to wait till tomorrow I think.....

Three things come to mind....1) I am relieved and thankful that you're not seriously hurt, 2) Yes, I've both heard and witnessed head wounds. You're right. They bleed a LOT. and 3) Strawberry blonde, indeed...L-O-S-R spells "loser." =P
Loev, me
Smooth move there, slick. I've done the same kind of things before. Glad you are not hurt. And yes, the blonde grows on the inside too. That's the tickle you keep feeling.
