I am alive! After having absolutely no sleep since the day before, last November 10, this blogger had to drive for more than 350 kilometers straight, and after driving, without pause, settle all outstanding house and internet bills, pack and haul all things from the rented house into the SUV, then drive another 50 or so kilometers and unload said things into the main house.
The consequence? Upon arriving at the main house at 8:30 PM, after driving and moving for 16 hours and being awake for at least 48 hours, the right foot slipped as the second step into the house main gate was being taken. The forehead then violently struck the metal furniture immediately in front of the gate, resulting in the forehead wound.
It seems that the arm of this chair was the one that caused the injury.
Four stitches and 386 dollars in hospital bills later, the bleeding finally ceased.
After 13 days, the stitches are ready to be removed! For posterity, a picture was taken, and they are shown below. The stitches look like cute little mosquitoes.
The wound itself is not too deep, though the stitches were indispensable in order not to create an overly ugly scar. As with most head wounds, since there is much vascularization in the area, profuse bleeding is to be expected, even if the damage is not serious or fatal.
This blogger now therefore sports the "lightning bolt" scar similar to Harry Potter's. Disclaimer: not a fan of the Harry Potter franchise at all.
Happy to be alive!
