I received it!

January 24th, 2009

It came today, Saturday.  It came with free 5-day shipping, I could have paid a lot for 3- or 2-day shipping.  I received it in 12 hours.  SonyStyle rocks!  Now to figure it out…

Concussion Update

January 19th, 2009

I was dizzy most of Saturday but felt better in the evening. Sunday I was dizzy again but not too bad.  Today I feel better but still a little dizzy.  The ER Dr. called Diane Saturday night to check up on me!!  He said it is normal to be dizzy for a week or two! :-(

My CT-Scan shows nothing!

January 17th, 2009

Well, nothing wrong anyway but I do have a concussion.

Diane and I went to Fry’s last night to take a look at Sony’s new eBook reader. I got out of the car, closed the door, faced the car to lean on it and lost my balance and fell straight backwards.   My head hit the asphalt hard and bled and bled.  A good Samaritan came by and really helped and dialed 911. I sat on the ground for a long time while people applied pressure on the cut.  The firetruck and EMS came and helped taking my vitals and checking me out.  They bandaged me up and got me up and back into our car for the trip to the ER.

The ER (Placentia-Linda) was very nice and NOT BUSY!  More vitals were taken and the Doctor put in about 10-11 staples to close the cut.  He ordered a CT-Scan which came back abnormal until they found a TYPO.  It should have said, “normal”!  I came home and went to bed – Diane woke me up every 2 hours to check on me.  I am OK now but I am more unsteady and dizzzy……..

This me in the ER.0116092003
