staple head

Don't try this at home!! staples should only be put in your head by a trained ER professional. This was part of today's lesson for the day. This morning at 6:30 am I passed out in the bathroom and conked my head on the bath tub. Fortunately the resounding thud woke up Paul and the kids. After Paul splashed water in my face and woke me up we discovered a nice 1.5 inch gash in my head on the upper right side and a lump on the lower left. So it was off to the HUP ER for a fun home school field trip. (Andrew brought his favorite snugly for me and Vicky brought a Bible "in case we needed them") 6 hours later I was discharged having had clear EKG and blood work and having had 4 staples put in my scalp to close the wound. I feel achy and groggy but hopefully I am ok and it was just combo of intestinal distress and blood pressure.
My Thanks go to my husband for keeping a cool head, taking the day off and doing some laundry and school with the kids after seeing me ensconced in the ER. (the schedule sb helped me with made the school part easier) To my friends Cheryl, Tina, Lisa, and Stacy for kicking some prayer support into action for even managing a short notice meal to be delivered for us tonight so I could rest when I got home. I am so thankful to God for preserving me from worse damage and for giving me such a loving family and sisters in Christ to support me.
Paul thinks its too bad they will be out by Halloween claiming I could add neck bolts and have an instant costume.

Maybe you could get the "Doc" to give them to you when they get removed and you could stick them on with elmers or something!!! lol!
I have a couple of really BIG bolts available on my desk..I use them as paper weights!
Glad to know you didn't get your sense of humor knocked out of you!
