I've written before about how big of a klutz I am. Yesterday I really outdid myself.
I was working at my company's offsite storage facility and my intern couldn't get the code to work to let us in. I hopped out of the car to type it in quickly, planning to jump back in the car as fast as I could so we wouldn't miss the gate. Sandwiched between my intern's car and the keypad, I typed in the code and jerked my head up to run back to the passenger side of the car. What I was not counting on was slamming the side of my head on one of the concrete posts surrounding the keypad. The force of the blow was enough to knock my sunglasses right off my face and scrape up my entire right ear. The edges of my vision turned black and I got really dizzy.
I gave myself a concussion. I barely remember the next hour, I was confused, and my eyes were dilated. Not good signs.
I took the afternoon off yesterday and am feeling pretty cruddy today.
I am the only person I know capable being SO clumsy that I gave myself a concussion. Seriously.

Oh my gosh! Feel better soon!!
Oh shit, that is awful. You need to be careful of your eyes/head/face my dear!
I walked into a steel beam when I was drinking one night. It was not good.
Sounds like something I would do, I'm always trippin' over my own feet! Hope you feel better soon! Enjoy the extra rest!!

Yikes, feel better!
Oh no! I thought you were kidding yesterday. Or at least I hoped you were kidding. :) I hope you feel better soon!! Did you get to file a worker's comp claim?
Oh. my. gosh. Are you ok???? That is crazy!! I hope you are taking TODAY off too!
we don't deserve to be concussed at work. WE DON'T.
see you next week, cement head.
ACH! Feel better soon, lady.
Are you feeling better today? Don't feel bad, I've knocked my head many times! I had 5 black eyes by the time I was 5, broke my arm roller skating and had 15 stitches in my forehead from running into the bathroom door frame. I am constantly hitting my elbows on things. Jeremy stopped saying, "where did you hit yourself?" and started saying, "what did you hit?" because he already knows that something got in the way of my elbow.
Holy crap, that sounds so painful! I hope you're feeling better today!
I hope you feel better! I am such a klutz too. One day a couple years ago I was sitting on an arm of a chair (home alone I should add) and tipped over, hit my head and got a concussion. There wasnt even a reason I had to sit on the arm! Have a happy Wednesday and be sure to check out my giveaway ending soon :).
