Can I whine?
While getting in the car Sunday I so gracefully hit my head. I almost knocked myself out! It hurts to the touch now..I just wanted to whine a little...hope you don't mind.

Crazygurl, I did that one time and actually had a mild concussion. Take it easy for a while in case you have swelling. The swelling usually subsides in a handful of hours but you don't want to be driving or jogging until the swelling goes down, it can affect your vision temporarily.

Sorry to hear that CG. I walked into a door last weekend. I was sober and everything! I got really mad at it and almost punched a hole through. Then my hand hurt! GEEZE!

Yes, we need an ER report Maple.

CG, knockin on the noggin is what we humans do well. We usually do it to others, but sometimes ourselves. Anthropologists cannot explain why just yet.

I think this is something that should be investigated further. Why can't we judge the clearance distance? I mean how many times have I gotten into that car????

OH..WK...I did run smack dab into a support pole in a store I used to work in. Had a knot on my head.

There are two ways of looking at it CG. We can lament the fact that we knocked our noggin, or we can celebrate the fact that we didn't hurt any vital body parts.

I'm always whacking my head into something. Mostly it's my six feet of height. It's frustrating, indeed. It could be a serious injury, but it's mostly just bothersome.

How ya feeling today?

I'm fine thanks....I actuall attribute my mishapes to my gracefulness...or lack of. I am so uncordinated..I'm waiting for the day I have to report to the injured list.

the only time a hit in the head is any good is when it knocks some sense into it.

Support pole at previous employment. Were these the kind of poles you wrap your legs around and hang upside down...
