I sliced through my thumb yesterday. It was a deep cut, but I collect and use knives so nothing new. Later on I noticed I couldn’t bend my thumb. I grabbed the end and pulled on it.
Some time later, my wife found me face down in a pool of blood. Turns out that pulling my thumb made me immediately pass out, at which point I went face first on to the corner of my subwoofer. I’ve smashed my front teeth up into my gum line, broken my nose, and I’m fairly sure I’ve fractured my jaw.
Slept it off last night, now I’m on my way to hospital. Just thought I’d share my stupidity with y’all.
Silver lining: I’m fairly sure I had my nose broken about 25 years ago, and the fall last night has reset it. My breathing feels amazing and my nose looks better than it did. Nice.
Just a heads-up, this reads like you had a head injury but decided to go to sleep and visit the hospital the next morning. If that's true, please call an ambulance to take you to the hospital immediately. Going to sleep with a head injury may mean you don't wake up.
I’m starting to think he didn’t wake up
Yeah, this was his most recent thread.
The reason I brought it up was my Mom. One of the earliest signs that she was not processing things right was the time I called her for a video chat, and she had a bandage on her head.
"Mom, what happened to your head?"
"Oh, I just woke up on the floor, and there was blood all over the place."
"WHAT, MOM, NO, WHAT HAPPENED?"
"Oh, don't worry. I drove myself to the hospital."
"WHAT, MOM, NO! YOU CALL A DAMNED AMBULANCE! Head injuries, you don't go for a goddamned drive."
So, yeah.
