just a few hours ago yesterday, i typed with this very computer a little tale about a brain with wheels, trying hard to break through the hard bone of the wall of the skull.
and today, just a few hours ago, i left the ER with the following diagnosis:
CONCUSSION (aka bruised brain)
a student in a fit of his own person hell, bashed my head against a wooden table about 3 times. i saw stars, i felt warm, searing throbbing pain and i eventually saw the inside of a CAT scan machine.
could have been worse.... i am definitely going to be OK.... was told to stay out of work til monday.... but the best part is, i got the kid to stop hurting himself....
and that is all that matters.... it is THE reason i am there....
and it reminded me (once again) why i wana be there for these broken kids and why i think being a cop would be one hell of a rewarding job for me!
afterthoughts: get in shape, join the academy and make a difference in my life and the lifes of those i look forward to protecting.
(not bad considering my brain has been busted up and i am half out of it!! LOL)
hope you all had a safer wednesday!
