This really should have been my first post of my new blog but i forgot really, i dunno how i did partly cause this story involved me going to have to go Hospital,
i must have told this story a hell of alot now, one cause people keep asking it and two cause the story itself now has a case of chinese whispers (remember the game as a child when you would whisper something and then message would get relayed through people and various aspects of the message or evan the whole message would change)
it was friday afternoon on the 18th April 08, and once again im in the lab doing another exciting experiment (note the sarcasm) the practical was going well, when i say it was going well i mean i was doing as little as possible to contribute to the group especially that day i was having wisdom tooth growing pains, this is the weird part, i sat on a wooden stool, and put my feet up on its leg rest thing, and my foot went right through it as it came off and broke, i jumped off as soon as i heard the wood hit the floor and moved the seat. so later it got to the point where my group had to calculate something, and Manny was nowhere near his workstation infact i was wondering arround the lab talking to people my excuse i was looking for a new stool... when my lab partner yells at me "Manny, stop being mean and come here and do the calculation"
i hurry over and sit on the broken stool, next thing i know as this all happened in a slight blur, im suddenly falling, trying to grab whatever i can to stop myself falling, tried to grab the table and evan my lab partner then BOOM (sounds like John Madden or good ole J.R) i hit my head on the table behind me, and possibly once again on the floor, and next thing i remember is me laying on the floor underneath the table i banged my head on with the broken stool arround my legs, and hearing girls say manny are you ok, are you ok manny, im underneath the table thinking omg did this really happen, and thinking how do i style this out that i look cool, and there were only 2 ways this could be done, go for the moron approach and style it out and do press ups and sit ups, or go for the sympathy role, i chose to go with neither instead i just sat up and tried to catch my bearings and proceeded to tell everyone im fine,
i then got up, and finished the calculation at hand, yes i evan finished what i was doing with a ice pack held on the back of my head and neck, evan though i kept insisting i was fine, i was told i had to go Accident and Emergency, i really didnt want to i just wanted to get home and sleep, but the University made me fill out a form and then paid for a taxi to take me to a nearby hospital, i get myself checked out turns out the blow to the head led me to get a mild concussion and whiplash,
2 Weeks ago, Whiplash and a concussion?
