Holiday Recap
Okay, so I haven’t exactly been blogging…. Chasmyn will get me for that, I already know. Let’s see… what’s been going on since December? Um, I got neato things for Christmahanukwanzaayule this year, like a remote control Hummer, a pretty necklace, lots of food, and a ride through the Winter Wonderland by horse carriage. It was wonderful, even though I had to endure a few Scrooges along the way.
Then came New Year…
Well, I went to a holiday party on the 28th, and had a fabulous time. Okay, maybe I overindulged just a WEE bit, but who doesn’t? In the morning, I actually felt fine, most likely because I “got rid” of everything the night before. I got up to pee, and when I stood up, I got a head rush and felt all spinny. That’s the last thing I remember. Then I was on the floor in a pool of yuck and I though I saw blood. That’s when I went into hysterics thinking I was puking blood. I yelled for MJ, who turned on the light to see that I had successfully ripped my forehead and cheek to shreds on the way down to the floor. Apparently, I fainted upon getting up too fast, and totally racked my head on the way down.
ANYWAY, she took me to the ER, where they did a CT-scan (all negative, believe it or not—I know! I was surprised too!!), took blood (I was still over the legal limit—yikes) and stitched me up. This was the first time I have ever had stitches, and I was happy to get one of the best plastic surgeons in the hospital. He sutured me up painlessly, thank goodness. He was even gentle with the anesthetic. I got 5 dissolving sutures in the muscles on my cheekbone, then 5 more in the skin on top, and then I got 4 in my forehead. I really screwed myself up pretty well this time. It was better than the time I fell out the car! (yeah, I know)
So that was the most exciting thing I had happen to me over the holidays. I then looked like a prizefighter for about a month, and now everything is back to normal. –then again… what’s normal again?? Hmm……. ;-)
