Accidents

Or as the CDC likes to call them: Unintentional Injuries.

Unfortunately, since my injury was not "medically attended" I can't claim to be part of the 47% of Americans injured at home- my guess is that the percentage of "unattended" injuries occurring at home is MUCH higher. Though only 5% of "attended" injuries are Open Wounds like mine....

I knocked a plate off my dish rack this morning and in trying to save it, smashed it against the tile counter with my forearm and now have a large gash. I don't do well with my own blood. Luckily, my neighbor, who has kids, was home and helped me. Sort of. I currently have a cotton ball medical-taped to The Wound to keep pressure on it- I look like either a (severely) botched suicide attempt or (equally severely botched) blood donor- we will re-evaluate when I get home from work this evening.

My biggest concern was that I would need stitches or sutures, "for now" we don't think so.

My next biggest concern is scarring- this one won't even have a good story.

So not only was I late for work at The MKTG Office due to my Unintentional Injury, but then there's Some Event going on at The Honda Center and I got in the wrong lane: Parking not Thru Traffic. I had to wait in the line for Parking only to get an Exit Pass, turn around, and come into The Office the other way. WHAT A DAY! (All before 9:30AM)

It's supposed to be: TGIF, it's more like WTFIF (Sorry, Mom. Had to use The F.)

I'll keep you posted.
