11 months in...
The past 11 months... what a ride. October 16, 2021 I ventured into my garage storage area and, while crouching down and reaching for something, dislodged an antique chair which hit the back of my head. I was dazed, but managed to move the chair, lock the door, and make my - very unsteady - way back up the stairs and into my condo. There I used ice packs to limit swelling and stayed up until four in the morning just in case I had a concussion. I slept well and all seemed fine the next morning. Not so. Part of the way through an assignment, I lost total focus and felt as though my jaw was sagging. I took a (very unflattering) photo of myself and - low and behold - my jaw was sagging, I was very pale, and my eyes were not focused. I decided a nap would probably be the ticket and took a rather long one. Monday rolled around and my head was pounding so I called into work. Tuesday I made it to work. Only to ask a caller the same question six times...
