Still Numb After All this Time…

10 days since I “crashed” with my bicycle, and part of my right face is still numb as if I am just out from a root canal fill at the dentist. So I decided to take a trip to the hospital. 

Had a quick talk with the Doctor, who decided to take an X-ray. It took less than 3 minutes, and after another 5 minutes I was back with the Doctor looking at my X-rayed face.

The first thing that hit me was… No wonder I’m stupid, there’s no brain 😉

Turns out nothing is broken. The numbness is caused by a damaged nerve close to the cheek bone. Basically where the impact was last Wednseday morning.

Got tons of Medecine that I will skip most of. One is to take care of the side effects by another. Stupidity… Take this so you don’t get sick from taking this so you get well. How screwed up is that? I’m sticking with the Vitamin B12 supplement though (the red obes to the right). It can help with nerve damages (if there is a deficiency).

Slicing Carrot

Almost sliced of my finger when I was slicing a carrot today. I used a slicer with a ceramic knife and slipped. It cut off a quarter of my right hand’s index finger. Surprisingly it did not hurt much, though it was quite bloody.

Crown Jewels are Safe

On my way to work today a dog jumped out in front of my bike and I had to break so hard my bike vaulted around its front wheel. The dog got scared and run back to his/her owner who walked 3 meters behind the dog. The owner kept saying “sumimasen” (I’m sorry) but maybe it was a bit too late for that… Just keep your d*mn dog on a shorter leash 👿

Anyway, I was kind of lucky to get out of it all with only a swollen bump next to my groin where the lefthand side’s handle bar just missed my “crown jewels”. Though if the handle bar had hit a bit to the right I probably would have looked more like :shock:, and talking in a slightly higher pitch now.
