My hard head

On November 9th,2009 I got a present. I got a nice big....lump on my head!!!Yeah, me!

Here is what happened...

I went to clean an apartment. Stood up on a stepladder and had my other one, a more sturdy one next to it. I went to step off of it and lost my footing.

So here I am, in mid air trying desperately to not hit my head and then .............WHACK!!!!
My head hit the cabinet as I landed very hard on the other stepstool. It was not just a bump, it was a VERY HARD WHACK!!! I heard something crack. Was it my neck? Or my skull? The Cabinet? I started blacking out then suddenly jumped to my feet and realized that I had to find my phone to call Rick because I knew this was not just a little bump. So as I found myself calling Rick I realized I was beginning to get very sleeepy.
I got him and I said"Rick!!! Help me!, I fell!!" He was across the complex working in another apartment thank God. He got there really quick. I was slumped against the wall feeling like I was going to pass out. He got me up and took me to Pat's (manager) apartment. she said get her to the hospital now. The lump was about the size of a golf ball and bleeding a little. My neck hurt so bad too.

So we get to the hospital and I am thinking, "don't move your neck Joy". So I was very careful not to. They got me back there and put one of those neck things on me and got CT Scans and basically confirmed what I already knew.. I have a hard head.  With this being said, I thank God for the way he made me. He always watches out for me. I can't tell you the number of times that I have bumped my head, put my head thru a wall, ran into things with my head and etc...

With the exception of being quite sore and stiff, I am ok once again and my head is still as hard as it was when I was born!
