In my kitchen, which is in desperate need of a makeover, there is this broken drawer that the facade has fallen off of and exposed the huge staples that once held it together. I've had my run in's with these staples before but it has usually been scratches or pokes in the leg from getting too close. Today, however, was a different story.
I accidently dropped the lid to my pepper grinder on the floor and bent over to pick it up and empailed my head right above my left temple on one of the staples. It really hurt terrible and began to bleed all over the place right away. I must have really hit my head hard on this staple because it felt like someone hit me in the head with a bat.
I just grasped my head and leaned against the wall and tried to stop the bleeding. My youngest son was very worried and concerned. The initial shock of it finally passed and I gained my composure. I applied pressure to the wound and just took it easy for a few minutes.
I was in the process of making dinner when this all happened and I just wanted to finish, so my darling child held the tissue to my head while I finished up dinner for them. The bleeding stopped about 15 minutes later but it wasn't bleeding too badly. I sat with an ice pack on my head for 2 more hours before the pounding pain finally went away, for the most part at least.
Now I'm just wondering if I should go get a tetanus shot or not. I still just feel really stupid that I head butted an industrial staple. I am so not going to do that again!
