A DAY TO NEVER FORGET!!!

I wish I had the words to make this post into a very interesting story, but unfortunately I don't have that talent like my friend Royall. I will try my hardest though.
It was a cold morning in march and I was getting out of bed to get ready for work, the next thing I remember was waking up to a headache that felt like a 1000 pounds of water being poured on my head. I got up very dizzy and unaware as to what had just happened, as I walked into the bathroom I looked in the mirror and noticed a very large contusion on my forehead. A bump the size of Mount Everest it looked like. I quickly called Mark and was very dizzy and light headed trying to explain to him what happened, even though I did not even know what happened. All of a sudden it happened again down on the floor I went. I awoke again to sirens and 3 dogs barking at the top of there lungs. Next thing I knew there were 2 men in fireman outfits taking my pulse and asking me my name and questions to keep me from passing out again. Then two more men made an apperance, they were in white shirts and informed me they were EMT and here to take me to the hospital. They started to ask some questions when the door opened again and there was my husband frightened and terrified not knowing what was wrong with me. He answered all there questions about my Medic Alert bracelet and if I was on any medication. Next it was to get me to the hospital so the Doctors could check if I was okay. The ride there was a bit quizzy as I get car sick quit easily, and I was a little sad they did not put the sirens on for me, but we made it in pretty good time. Nurse after Nurse pocked and proded me, first the arm then the but. Then a cat scan to make sure the massive bump on my head had not caused any bleeding in my brain. The Doctor finally came back with the results , a bad concussion was all, nothing some rest, and Tylenol couldn't cure. They figure I tripped and hit my head causing me to pass out. It was a pretty scary, exciting experience and deffinately a day I will never forget.

  2. Oh Kalinda, only you would wish in an ambulance on the way to the hospital that they would put the ambulance lights on for you. Haha. What does the gash look like?

  3. it is not bad at all, I am only wearing the band-aid because it was so red and bumpy I did not want customers starring at me. Actually I took it off to day and it looked almost gone, just a little black and blue.
