If it wasn't for my accountant stressing the importance of being looked at I might very well be struggling along thinking this is one badass headache.<br /><br />In fact, as the days have passed my face feels like it's been beaten quite seriously... which is so weird because when it happened I most definitely knew I had hurt myself but never figured it to be so serious.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm off to make a phone call to have a talk with the Early Response Concussion Service that the attending physician referred me to. I gather they will advice me on how to go forward with this. <br /><br />I sure hope you are good now, after yours - I can't imagine you wanting to do much work after something like a pry bar hitting you in the head.

I've only ever drawn my dog, Lucky, on the first page of my moleskine - where she was resting on a chair - I thought that was the most difficult thing ever to draw. <br /><br />Why I even attempted another animal is beyond me as their hair is mind bending. But, I am trying to do a drawing a day, and letting the source be something that crosses my path via the web or a picture I take as reference. This little dog photo was on Bushman's website and I just loved the feeling I got from it. I will try drawing it again, this time with attention to detail, placement and hair definition - might take forever... but, hey, I've got nothing but time right now.<br /><br />Don't laugh about the mask thing - I'm seriously thinking about it - that walker is dangerous! :)Pearson Reporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422640826640133140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9889100.post-12663234818180670652013-04-29T09:11:49.658-07:002013-04-29T09:11:49.658-07:00Hi Susanne - welcome to Pearson Report.
I agree, ...Hi Susanne - welcome to Pearson Report.<br /><br />I agree, it is rather funny to think this much of an injury can come from having a walker handle hit me in the face. However, given how serious it is I'm laughing a little less than I initially did. :) :) <br /><br />Rest is helpful, but so boring - I'm not good at laying around. I am catching a good sleep though and also pumping myself full of Advil and Tylenol (the duo of choice over here) <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by. :)Pearson Reporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422640826640133140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9889100.post-91980319114984296032013-04-29T09:04:47.170-07:002013-04-29T09:04:47.170-07:00Thanks, Matt - just one of those things, I guess, ...Thanks, Matt - just one of those things, I guess, that makes up my ever exciting life!! :)Pearson Reporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422640826640133140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9889100.post-43687783338132552732013-04-28T09:40:19.805-07:002013-04-28T09:40:19.805-07:00That's too bad.

No time to coddle myself with a room to tear apart and put back together. I felt woozy for several days, but I wasn't about to stop. Yes, I should have, but Honeyman couldn't do the room all by himself.<br />Take it easy!

Hugs to you, dear friend. :)<br /><br />I will only be reading (and replying) sporadically over the next few days - this being one of those times. It's early (10:30 am) and I feel okay, but it's definitely gotten worse as the days have passed so this weekend it's me and my bed! Which will be okay with me.<br /><br />Sorry to read about the car accident - wow, I've been there too and it's not a pleasant experience.
