And here I’ve been trying to kill my facial hair. So tired of spiky stubble and beard shadow. I like that moment where at least some of my face is smooth for about 30 minutes after a shave :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

7ish this morn, Topaz and I were playing, and I “ran” away from him. I fell, and went headfirst into the side of the giant solid cherry entertainment center. Good thing I’ve got such a hard head! Got some pizza on my elbow & jammed my shoulder a bit, nicely bashed my knees, etc. No head symptoms other than (now mild) surface pain. No conventional/nor worse headache, nausea, dizziness, faintness, disorientation, impinged range of motion; eyes/ears/snootle all functioning as usual.

Found & put a cold pack on my head w/in 30 or so mins after it happened, which I (gently, loosely) tied onto my head w/a bandana, Babushka stylee. That musta looked hiLARious. Also took vit K for the bruises.

I’m sure I’m fine, but want to add that if I don’t wake up, I love all of you. :sparkling_heart:

Ouch. Take care, and listen to your body!

Episodes like that can cause weird kinds of damage, some that need medical attention. (Wish I could say that I’m not speaking from personal experience.)

Thank you, and all needed healing to you, too!

I am well aware of that, so keeping a sharp eye on myself, moving around V gingerly, not bending over, gently stretching the back and neck to keep things mobile, and will be going to bed pretty soon.

A not overly hot bath w/tons of epsom salts will be taken once I can trust myself to safely get into/out of the big deep tub.

I told D I will not be cooking tonight.

If you have decent insurance, maybe get your head checked?

I hate this timeline so much. My insurance is terrible so I completely understand if this isn’t a viable option.
