Really glad that you are still here to tell us this story.

My wife took an unplanned head first visit to a sidewalk six weeks ago and knocked herself out. Similiar injuries except no broken bone or nose. (tough way to do a bone density test). She is a fast healer for a mature chickie (62), so she is about healed and no one can tell by looking at her.

The swollen tongue thing worries me. I wonder if you had an aspirin allergy. If so you should keep a Benedryl capsule with your Aspirins.

Also, if you like good red wines, you might want to add a glass or two each day to your diet for medicinal reasons :).

Here's to a successful and great recovery.

This was definately NOT a boring post! Read every word and I am insisting that family members read it too!

You are one tough Texan, Miss Basil. God bless you and your family and all those wonderful EMTs and hospital folks who put you on the path to recovery.

Apparently the tongue thing didn't actually happen--it was a figment of my wild imagination during this whole thing--or so the doc says.
