I do want to take this opportunity to tell you all a little (true) story...
About five years ago, I was living in Chicago in a studio apartment, had just gone through a break-up, and was working at a coffee shop. One morning, sober and (somewhat) alert, I was showering and just straight up slipped and fell. Now, I suspect that something startled me (I vaguely remember my shampoo bottle falling off of the window ledge in the shower), but I'm not sure. It's all a blur.
Regardless, I feel out of my shower and BAM, hit my face on my sink as I went down. I didn't get knocked out (thank god), and I immediately stood up, kinda' dazed. I still remember the metallic taste in my mouth at that moment when I looked in the mirror- and all I could see was blood all over my face.
Do you know what is hilarious about falling in your bathroom and jacking up your face? Okay, not much, but there is one thing. Once you are up and around, freaking out and trying to figure out what to do and dripping blood everywhere- you're fucking naked. It's kinda' funny, right? Well, I think it is.
The rest of the story isn't that exciting. I called my mom (I'm such a momma's girl), she came and got me and took me to the hospital, where crowds parted like I was Jesus as she walked me down the hallway to the ER. Yeah, my face was pretty busted. Turns out I didn't break any bones, just cut my lip open, lots of bruising and some black ass eyes. Stitches ensued, a little oral surgery a few weeks later, and a lot of pain killers.
But the take-away? Bathrooms are all fun and games until your tired ass slips and falls and busts open your mouf. 'Mkay?!
Just a word to the wise.
Happy Friday!
