Ouch!
« on: July 07, 2008, 01:58:17 PM »
So I'm expecting a new washer and dryer that will be delivered tomorrow (what does it say when someone gets all excited about a new washer and dryer?) Really nice front-loaders...

But, that meant doing some prep work this weekend. So yesterday, I moved the old machines out from the wall, and went behind them in order to clean up the dust (it's amazing how much had built up in back there -- disgusting) and to replace some of the carpet tiles that cover the floor and had become loose (due to a water heater incident a few years back).

Then I get up.

Right into a fluorescent light fixture affixed to the bottom of the set of cabinets on the wall over the machines.

Ouch.

Supernovas, not stars.

So today I look like a runner-up in the Gorbachev look-alike contest.



Hopefully, this will heal with no scarring

All expressions of sympathy will be gladly accepted.

(P.S. Apologies for the unshaven appearance. No shaving 'til this heals I'm afraid. I was already overdue for a cleanup when this happened.)

Now I see why you were in such a foul mood with your posts  :*))

Just kidding.  I know that hurt.  Get better soon, then shave properly.  8)

Fortunately the head is very resilient; just don't rush it.  My sympathies are with you in your time of pain and scruffyness.

I'm sure you'll heal up fine, man. It sounds like it hurt pretty bad, but the wound is just a flesh wound. You'll recover. Just hang in there till then.

Ouch ... I just had one like that healed. I've got to tan it ... a white spot on a tan head looks odd.

Ice and aloe helped me out.

I've had a few injuries like that and know it's no laughing matter.  When I do thinks like that, I usually just shave around the wound, and then go lightly over the wounded area with an electric razor.  After the first day or two it can usually tolerate the electric touching it.  It beats having to sport stubble until the area heals.

That doesn't look like it feels good. 
I did a similar thing two weeks ago, I was tearing the siding off of a shed and a board fell on my head and a nail got my ear.

Dang BB!

Hope that heals quickly for you! O0

I think xnewyawka said that when you shave your head, you lose the feelers that warn you when you are too close to things.  I believe him!! 8)
