Right. It will have to come out, then.

Here's a good example of a bad way to start your day. This morning I decided to stick the last remaining box from the book room in the hall closet. While placing the box on the bottom shelf I heard a loud "clonk" noise and suddenly my new orbital sander was lying at my feet. This was very quickly followed by a fair amount of pain. "Well, that hurt," I said to Tharsis, holding my hand to my head. Then it began to hurt a lot more. So I lay down on my bed for a while , holding both hands to my head, muttering something along the lines of, "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow."

I felt a bit addled most of the morning. That went away around lunch and there were no other symptoms so I was only mildly concussed. I'm OK now execpt for the lump and a bit of a headache. My brain hurts.

Could have been worse. At least it wasn't my circular saw.

Clearly it wasn't in the greatest shape to begin with or I wouldn't have gotten myself clubbed by a power tool at all.

Ouch!

Now if I could just get this damn crayon out of my nose maybe I'd become smarter just like Homer.

(OK, I don't have a crayon up my nose, but I do have a chunk of pencil visibly embedded in my hand).

Yes, and when I got that sensation in my noggin a few weeks ago it also occurred to me that I was bleeding much more than I was prepared for. Funny how the pain message takes a few seconds to hit your brain...

Take care, hon. Try not to do anything (at all) this evening other than relaxing.
God, I hope my accident-proneness hasn't rubbed off on you! :/

Yes, even when it is, you would think, a pretty short trip from scalp to brain.

But don't fret, my ability to foolishly injure myself predates your influence.

Just thank youself that it wasn't on when it hit your foot.
and that it was your FOOT that it hit.

It bounced off my head and landed by my foot.
