Blood everywhere

Last night in trying to get my 10,000 steps in I walked the usual trails. I had cleared most of large branches overhanging one section with one huge branch still left at head height to be cleared the coming weekend. I walked past just fine, on the way back I was doing the head down looking at feet thing and solidly hit my head on the branch. No cap on so I split my bald skull open. Immediately blood starts running down my forehead, no hankerchief so I start using leaves to staunch the flow. After 10 minutes and no stopping I finally just plastered a leaf on my head and pulled the cap over it to keep it in place.  Only managed 8745 steps since I needed to pick up a pizza and go to a friends house to watch season 6 of Game of Thrones. Lots of blood there in the Battle of the Bastards.

    1. Of course, this just means I'm alive, to be able to bleed like that.

  2. Wow - you really got whacked by that tree branch. Hope it is nothing more a blood loss and some transient pain.
