Sometime even I amaze myself. I am the reigning King of Klutz, but honestly, sometimes I even surprise myself at just what a toll holding on to this title costs me!
Last Wednesday I was working on my Thursday lecture I was to deliver and something fell on to the floor. So, still sitting in my chair, I bent over and picked it up ... What was to follow I think defies physics as Stephen Hawking understands them ...
So, literally, my next memory from bending over, is that I am now sitting in a plastic packing crate I was filling to move stuff out of the TV room and into storage. The box had shattered and I gently felt along my leg as best I could but no warm liquids, so I was not cut as near I could tell.
But, I could not move because the chair I was sitting in had flipped over and whacked me over the head! It now lay across the top of me and due to its weight - 60 pounds?, I could not get it off of me! So I sat there, folded in half with this hurking big chair laying over me. Eventually, someone walked through the TV room and removed the chair and helped what was left of me back up into it!
As I said, I think physics says this was an impossible situation! But, it happened in any event. So bruised from behind left knee, up the leg, across my buttocks, and then across my missing vertebrae ... unfortunately.
So, end of last week really sucked badly and many codeines sacrificed their lives to knock me out and ease the pain.
Sigh ...
All Hail, the reigning King of Klutz.
