...bruised but not broken............

So, this is my face.
Tripped over a stupid mat at work....... straight down....bounced my face off a paved floor.....glasses broken....struggled back up right....and the blood began to flow.

Rescued by 4 female colleagues....thanks Gail, Karen Natalie and Helen.

3 cuts...one along the eyebrow.....one neat hole punched in about an inch above my eye...one L shaped slightly higher up.....graze on the cheek bone...and a beautiful black eye to come no doubt.

I wanted to mop up the blood and drive home...the ladies left me in no doubt that wasn't going to happen. Gail drove my car home for me....Karen followed to bring Gail back....Natalie took me to the Drop-in Centre and stayed with me.

I was seen quickly....no broken cheek bone or eye socket.....no stitches needed.....nose o.k.....no loose teeth. The nurse cleaned the wounds.....put on some setri-strips and a dressing....checked b.p........temperature and pupil response....gave me some spare dressings....and advice on head injuries.

Natalie brought me back home.

Painkillers....the Daughter came home and surveyed the damage...I phoned the Boss at work...she called me a pillock! I decided I would go to the quiz...if I hadn't we'd have had to forfeit the match and it's the last League game of the season......the Boss came home and called me a pillock....again....but didn't stop me.

We won....against the run-away winners of the League.....if only we'd played like that earlier in the year.

Back home...face hurts like hell...the Boss still thinks I'm a pillock and won't let me wear my shades to cover the damage......I'm going to go on my course in the morning...she'll probably call me a pillock again.
