Welp! Yesterday was Friday the 14th with a touch of Friday the 13th in it. Let me explain. The coffee shop I wanted to go to was not open when I arrived at 7:00 am so I went down the street to one that was open. When I arrived at the second coffee shop I noticed I’d forgotten my Fitbit/watch. No problem. When I got home I noticed I’d left my phone at the coffee shop. No problem. Later in the afternoon I stopped to look at one of the new e-bikes, that’s in my price range. Bending down to look at the belt drive I bumped my head on their rack. Hurt like hell! I cursed profusely! Began bleeding so I went to the ER to have it looked at and because I’m new to this blood thinner stuff. Now we have a problem. I had to have staples put in my noggin and a tetanus shot. Will have the staples removed in 5 days. I then stopped and got a DQ blizzard on the way home for any pain I may have. Seemed like a good idea at the time. I then stayed on my porch the rest of the day and kept all sharp objects at a distance. I took a shower this morning, gently washed my hair and then gently combed my hair. Will need to watch that for the next few days. Put on a crockpot of vegetable soup and will enjoy that later today. Hope you enjoy your day!

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    Ouch, I don’t know which makes me cringe the most, having staples put in or taken out. What a day, Monte! Take care, my friend.

    Some days are like that….every one and every thing is out to get you. Best on those days to go home, get a good book and snuggle in for the day. Stay safe, my friend.

      Good morning! Not of the mindset that everyone and everything is out to get me. As a friend says life gets lifey. How I live this life in a loving, compassionate way is my task. Hope you two are doing well and have a wonderful day, my friend!

    Ouch. Well, at least you only have one post under the tag “tetanus shot.” 😉 Hope the mending goes well. I am on blood thinners also and my wife is constantly telling me to be careful.

      I hope that’s the only one under that tag. 😂 One side affect of the blood thinners is sometimes leaving a red rash when I scratch myself, not braking the skin. When my legs itch in the morning due to allergies I can make them look I’ve tangle with a wild cat. And, your wife is right, we do have to be careful.
