Finishing up my yoga routine yesterday morning -- with the ol' standing forward bend -- I didn't realize that I had inched up too close to the marble overhang of the kitchen pass-through shelf and BANG! I hit my head on that shelf with a force that knocked me on my side. I rolled around in pain until I realized I was not going to pass out. (Today I cannot even comb my hair in that spot-OUCH!)
Later I was rinsing out a tin can that had contained Progresso Chicken Soup (you know, for my cold) in my tiny kitchen sink and SLICE! I had cut an inch-long slice on the top of my left hand just below the pinky knuckle. What to do? Will it go back together and stop bleeding? It would . . . good. But do I need a tetnus shot? How would I find that out? A call to my doctor in West Chester gave me the information I needed which was that I'd had a booster in 2007. Good thing our medicine cabinet is regular size and I had brought bandaids.
