About 8 hours ago, I was drinking at home - enjoying abit of festivity with my little brother, watching Godfather 2... got abit carried away with some JD and Coke (one of my Christmas gifts)...
Half way into the dvd, I went to the loo for a leak... god, I never felt so relieved whilst taking a leak and suddenly I felt woozy just mili-seconds after finishing and BAM-CRASH!
I fell on the floor and apparently I manage to walk out of the loo, telling my dad and little brother I was okay and head into my bed - I cannot remember anything apart from finish peeing and ending up in bed with a stinging feeling on the back right of my head.
Reaching back, something felt wet...
(Taken by my brother on a poo mobile camera.)
I have a split just over an inch long and apparently quite deep - my little brother was disturbed by what he can see and how much blood came out of it when antiseptic spray was dosed over it.
It was Christmas, no local medical centre (good 20min taxi to nearest A&E), I decided to stop the bleeding myself (with little brother's help) Took him and I, 2 hours and a lot of kitchen paper to finally stop the bleeding. Took a couple of painkillers (Neurofen), will take a couple of paracetamol in a min, incase of infection?
I just woke up feeling "normal", I can feel my split has scabbed up.
What a wonderful night it was
Note to self; having a shelf in the loo, in front of the toilet isnt a good idea... especially when one can fall and hit it!
WRT: seek;
(Seeking personal experiences)
Just wondering, is it sensible to not get it stitch last night? I'm just going to leave it, be careful with the injury and when it semi-healed, I'll just dose it with Bio Oil... sensible? Not had an injury that wide without stitching... just don't want to have ill consequences.
