Grateful & Sore

Well, I started this weekend off w/a bang! I had put the biscuits in the oven and wanted to go get some more milk out the fridge that's in a separate building. It was dark and I had already turned the light off about 15 minutes before hand. I saw the cat sitting on the sidewalk and he is not black mind you. Might as well have been. I didn't make it to the back building. I couldn't see the skate board on the patio, stepped on it, and there was no catching myself before my head it the concrete. In all of my years I have never hurt myself where I've had to have stitches or a cast. I've had a garden pick go through my head, but not bad enough. That was the last time Dad had to take me to the ER before yesterday. I knew my head was loopy. :-) I felt my hands go numb and almost blacked out, but I came right back. Hollared for Lisa and after about six times she finally came out. Jeff was still in bed. He got out and that's when I started to cry. Got to the couch and I did black out. That's the weirdest thing. Although coming out of sleep induced state is much stranger. Got to the ER and that was worthless. Dr. Kaufman was the on call doc and he will not get any good refrence out of me. No bedside manner what so ever. Did even look @ my head. He just felt it. Jeff had never told me I was bleeding so I didn't know to ask anything. Well, I went on to the Wal-Mart and after we got back to Salem we stopped @ Sonic. I felt my head and felt fresh blood. I kind of frieked out but not bad. I didn't even know I had been bleeding. So, a nurse from our church came to the house and looked and it was just the scalp bleeding through the pores. I'm pretty bad with the "what if's." What if I had it my head on something else also and on and on. Nevertheless, I'm pretty sore. Didn't go to church this morning. Gonna have go follow up with the doc tomorrow and when I can lay down visit the chiropractor. I'm just grateful it wasn't any worse.
