Blackout - Blood - Ouch
I was walking to towards my office when suddenly I experienced a blackout. It was about 9am in the morning but it seemed like someone just switched off the Sun and it was pitch black. I thought I had turned blind as I could not see anything. Thinking back, the blackout should not have lasted more than one second. At the end of the split second blackout, I heard a very faint voice... "Win... dow!"... Then in slow motion I regained my vision and I saw two very worried looking faces.
What happened was my head had hit the corner of a window that was opened too wide. My colleague walking behind me tried to warn me by shouting "CAREFUL ! WINDOW!!" but it was too late. My head struck the window the instant she shouted "CAREFUL!" The same colleague witnessed the corner of the window sinking into my head. Instinctively she grabbed me as I stumbled and almost lost balance after the hard hit.
There was another colleague with me. Within the next split second, my two colleagues exclaimed
"Are you okay? How do you feel? You didn't see the window?! You just hit your head on a window!"
By now my hand was already pressing on the area of my head which hit the window. Surprisingly I felt no pain. I just felt very stunned. My whole head felt numb. I reassured my colleagues
"It is not painful, I am okay"
My colleague asked
"Is there any bleeding?"
I took my palm off my head and could not believe what I saw: about HALF of my palm was in BLOOD !! Then I was worried. I was worried that I may faint soon.
You may not believe it but the pain came almost TEN hours later! There was no pain while I pressed a tissue firmly to my head as my colleague sped at 100+ km per hour to the clinic. There was no pain when the doctor injected local anesthesia in my head. There was no pain when the doctor stitched my wound using a needle and thread.
The pain came after the anesthesia wore off at about 7pm the evening. OoowwwW !!! OUCH !
