Yep. I've been shot in the head with a nailgun.
3 1/2 inch nail decided to miss the board of a deck we are building on to the back of our house and ricochet off my right eyebrow. About a once inch gash, bled profusely, but ER doc says ok. Barely missed my eye and I was like 20 feet away from the nailgun so it could have been much worse. My hubby did it. Needless to say there was high laughter throughout the hospital at the time, I couldn't stop grinning at the story.
But I'm going to be resting for a bit. No writing as I type letters a bit backwards and retyping them is a bit annoying at the moment. Will have pics of deck and face soon I'm sure. Posting this to AW and to Myspace for those who wonder.
And the story we learn today children is that nailguns are scary beasts, especially in the hands of a younger spouse. But he was very apologetic. After a few towels of blood and a ruined shirt and pants of mine especially so.
Adam, my bestest friend, was there helping and I was most crushed that he didn't "take one for the team" and step into its path. Hmprh, and he calls himself a best friend Anyhow. going to lie and relax now. The whole right side of my face just aches right now.
Peace and caramel.
