An Anniversary Eve slight injury

    What a good place to celebrate our anniversary eve, in a Hospital. Yes, we just got home from South Suburban Hospital after being there from 7:00 pm till 11:00 p.m seating in the emergency room. I am so tired right now but I felt better. Well, I went to work today excited because I know I had a lot of things to be done. Since I chose to have the mid shift (12:00 noon-8:30pm) I was confident that I will be able to finish my pending workload. At around 5:00 pm one of the Exec asked me if I could help him put away fixtures so I readily said yes and followed him in the fixture room. While I was there we agreed on what fixtures that we still need and not. He said he will get rid of the garbage while I look for a spot for those fixtures. As I was walking I saw some debris on the floor so I bend over and reached for it. As I stood up, shelves from the wall fell on me. The biggest one carrying 3 small ones fell on my head. I fell on the floor but was too embarrased to be seen and I got up. Those shelves were not put up properly. I used the walkie to call someone and I though I should be ok. I didn't know that Carrie another TL that I called, also called someone so three of the team members were running towards the fixture room catching their breath. I felt so bad because they look so worried. They asked me what happened and I explained to them what happened. I wasn't bledding since it was the flat surface that hit my head not the edge. Although I had a bruise on my ankle and a bobo on the top of my head, I told them that it wasn't a big deal. So to make the long story short, they had to call the nurse and she asked me if I wanted to be pick-up by an ambulance and I said NO way. I was hoping that they don't need to send me to the hospital but I was wrong. After the shelves fell on me I had a major headache and started feeling dizzy. The nurse was so worried so they sent me to the emergency room.

    At the emergency room it was no fun. There were a lot of patients waiting for their turn but after an hour and a half we were finally called. I saw the doctor for like less than 5 minutes and I was told that I am going to have a CT Scan and luckily it turn out well. I felt like I am dying during the CT Scan. It was very freaky.

My pretty bracelet. When I asked the paramedic about it, he gave me a smile and said " so that you won't be put over the liver transplant ward. "

   I am ok now. I just need some rest and I should be up and running tomorrow. I was  so impressed with how Target took care of me though . Well they better be
