There I was, just walking down the street -- singing doo wah diddy diddy dum diddy do. No, just kidding, that song just jumped in my head now as I was writing that.
So, anyway, I was walking with Nick and Chris, then started to goof off like a dork, and down I went - my shoe clipped the ground and before I knew it I fell face first. My knee hurt, but I didn't feel any pain at all anywhere else. I just knew something happened because I could see my head bounce off the asphalt. That's never a good sign, right? I didn't know for sure what to think until I touched my teeth and felt that almost half of my front tooth was just gone and all that was left was a jagged, sharp remainder. I knew it was going to be chipped but I'd never seen anybody's tooth chipped so much, so I totally freaked out. It just felt gone. We found an on-call dentist, though, and he fixed the tooth up. Thank goodness. I feel pretty lucky that nothing else got hurt. I could have broken a hand, arm, or ankle, or even hurt my head. I'm thankful it was just my tooth & knee. I mean, how do you chip a tooth so badly by hitting the asphalt and not scrape up your face? I don't know, me and my big front teeth. LOL
Today I'm feeling it. My knee of course is completely skinned, and it hurts. It's swollen a little, and looks like it might be bruising up now as well. The rest of me has no physical marks or scrapes at all, but my arms and shoulders are aching. I don't know if that was from the fall or a combination of the fall and then the stress of my freak-out afterward.
