Just a couple stitches

[pegkerr]

I opened the kitchen cupboard door to look for the rice, stooped to look in the lower cabinet, fishing around for quite a while to find other ingredients, and then stood up--and smashed my head on the underside edge of the open upper cabinet door. I yelled pretty hard and called for the girls, sending Fiona to run next door to fetch a neighbor, as I could feel blood trickling through my fingers and Rob wasn't home. Delia was quite frightened by the blood, but I pulled myself together and told her not to worry, that head owies always bleed a lot, but that doesn't mean they're serious.

And it wasn't. The gash was only about 1/2" wide. The bleeding stopped pretty quickly, and so I called Rob at the store to tell him to come home and sent the girls next door to wait for him and drove myself to the Urgent Care. I'm home again, with stitches in my scalp and antibiotic goo in my hair, and I've just taken the Tylenol that I need very very badly.

This has been a rotten day in more ways than one.

Think I'll go to bed before it gets any worse.

Ow ow ow. I've done that, but not to such catastrophic effect. I'm shorter, maybe that's why. I hope you feel better in the morning.
