I woke up in a pool of blood, but I don’t remember waking up, just that I was covered in blood…I banged on my RA’s door (passed out) and then woke up in a chair (my RA carried me). He called campus security…after them calling me a suspect and me explaining to them that I didn’t take drugs or do alcohol and that my door was locked so no one hit me, I was taken by ambulance to the ER at Suburban Hospital where they X-Rayed me all over, gave me a cat scan ran tests and gave me stitches…apparently I fell from the top bunk onto the cement floor, six feet, smashed in all of my teeth, broke my nose, and lacerated my lip…I have to go to Buffalo General on Monday to get oral surgery…I feel like such crap and I’m in pain - the not good kind.

The only highlights of this journey was that the doctor was really cute and calming, and the guy who wheeled me around was really big and tucked me in…other than that, stitches suck as does oral surgery and I had to keep from crying, because I kept on thinking “this could be so much worse, I could be gone and I wouldn’t have gotten to say goodbye to my friends or family”

I need sleep…thus, I’m going back on the bed of death (now complete with safety bar, or the ‘please don’t sue me bar’ that UB installed while I was in the E.R.) and attempting to sleep…

    Listen! Do I have to come up there and safe-guard that room of yours????

    OMG I nearly had an attack reading this, DON’T DO THAT TO ME!

    You take care of yourself, and just ask the nice oral surgeon for some nice ‘non-addicting’ drugs that will put you in la la land for a few days!

    Hugs, and BE CAREFUL!!!!!!

  5. I wish I could say something more eloquent than “damn…hope you feel better.” I’ll keep the volume on my bigass speakers down until you recover; don’t want you to have a worse headache than the one(s) you’re dealing with.

  6. Oh wow… that’s — wow. I’m so glad to hear/read that you’re all right, but how scary must that have been??!! Keep us posted on how things are, K?
