So ... last night I got roaring drunk. In the middle of the night, pitch black, I go to use the bathroom, and trip over my cat. Being drunk I don't break my fall and hit the side of the sink with my forehead, big gash. But that's not the least of it. So then, yeah, I hit my head ...fade to black, I immediately concuss, lose consciousness, drop, but here's the good part .. then I fall backward, and my bathroom is kind of elevated off the main floor, so then I ping pong the other way, slamming my back onto the partition bit, aggravating an longstanding chronic back problem I have as well as having a nice huge gash on my forehead. I am now in a really significant amount of pain, unrelieved by Motrin, Flexeril, lidocaine patches, Robaxin, and whatever else, a hot pack, a bit of a benzodiazepine and some liquor helps a bit but still yeah, damn, walking with a pronounced limp and pretty much unable to transfer out of/into bed without a lot of difficulty. For some inconceivable reason I took it upon myself to go to work today. May or may not call in sick tomorrow and the next day ... so yeah, I'll probably have to go to the doctor and all that, maybe get some carisoprodol or if I'm lucky a decent opiate (not really likely at all.) So yeah, not any kind of fun.
I am developing a shitload of medical issues lately ... chronic back, a hernia, GI stuff. I am not a kid anymore definitely and hard living is no joke. But still, I kind of find the whole scenario last night hilarious. I would have fucking paid to see video of myself falling forward, concussing, and then ping-ponging falling backwards again and whatever my cat's reaction to all of it was. You gotta have a sense of humor, right?
