I'm okay!

This is a blanket thank you for your comments on the last post! <3

I seem to be out of danger for concussion now, which I'm very grateful for. Also, I'm fascinated to experience that it's actually true that you can have a wound like that and feel no pain at all. There was pain on first impact, but then it disappeared and I was feeling around the back of my head wondering where all that blood was coming from. Huh. Well, good to know for fic writing purposes, I guess. And there's been surprisingly little pain from the wound overall; I guess an infected wound would be a different kettle of fish. Honestly the hardest thing about all this is not being able to sleep on my back and only with great care on my side.

Heh, and the doctor much appreciated my short-cropped hair. *g*

Glad to hear you're past the worst of it now. Also I'm reassured to discover it's not just me who pays attention to painful experiences for their fiction-writing potential! I remember the time I had a big splinter of wood lodged under a fingernail, I was thinking about how I would describe it if it happened to a character...

Thanks! Obviously I would have much preferred that this hadn't happened, but since it did, well. I do write in a fandom where people being wounded is a likely thing to happen. : )

Given your dedication to

empirical investigation, I'd prefer you join less martial fandoms :,)

I know the wording in my last post was a bit ambiguous, but I didn't slam my head on the wall on purpose. : ) I was playing with my six-year-old niece, obviously a dangerous activity.
