A Medicinal Sunday Wibble
So, for anyone who isn't following my on social media, I've had an, uh, eventful couple of days.
Late Wednesday night into Thursday morning I started coming down with the virus that's going round - Vomiting, diarrhea, thumping headache, aching muscles. Forced myself to go into work Thursday morning but got sent home after 45 minutes after throwing up in the office (ok, sprinting down the office to the bathroom but still!)
Friday morning I was feeling mostly better. Hadn't thrown up in like 8 hours, was keeping water down and felt more like myself so I figured I'd go to work. Got up, showered, dressed and was just leaving the house when my stomach cramped. Got to the loo, and while I was sitting there I passed out. Clean forward onto the floor in front of the loo, woke up sprawled half in/half out the bathroom. All around my left eye was grazed and the frame of my glasses were snapped - the lens was absolutely fine though! I was also feeling woozy, dizzy and sick. As the next hour went on, I started feeling very drowsy and my eyesight was getting a little blurry - but I wasn't sure how much of this was not having my glasses on.
Luckily there's a branch of my opticians in the small town I live in so I walked down and yes, they had my frame in stock. And because my lenses weren't damaged, they were able to just pop them into the new frame.
Then, I just caught a bus up the hospital because yeah, I knew I needed to get checked out. I'd hit my head pretty hard and was displaying some concussion symptoms. Being only like 9:30 on Friday morning they were fairly quiet so I got seen quickly. Very thorough doctor gave me a good once over, was a little concerned about the blurriness in my peripheral vision so she sent me for a CT scan. No brain injury so they kept me in for a couple hours for obs but did then just clean my face up and send me home with a long list of what to do, what not to do and 'come back if this happens'.
Over the course of the weekend some wonderful bruising has come out. I am literally black/blue/purple/red from my nose to my ear and up to my hairline. There's a wonderful smudge of purple across my forehead and the bridge of my nose. My eye is grazed across the top of my eyebrow and right across the top of my cheek right under my eye. My eyelid and top of my cheek are so swollen that my eye is swollen shut.
It's such a great look. Although, I am really glad it happened this weekend and not in two weeks because con starts on the 29th... Hopefully I should be all healed by then!
So yes, this is very much a
