So, I went to a friend's pool party and was having a great time, laughing playing n the pool, and overall enjoying myself. At about 9:30, the dj called everybody over to one side of the pool to play games and dance. I participated for most of it, but when they wanted just the seniors to participate, I relaxed in the shallow end. I started swimming over to the deep end, and in mid-stroke, I heard "watch out!" and a split second later realized why I should have listened, had I had time to do so. The biggest guy at the party- about 6 foot, and looking like he had been sculpted to look like a titan, landed on my head. I was plunged under water where I remained for what felt like a few minutes while I waited for the giant to get off of me, and I dizzily realized what had happened. He apologized slightly while I hobbled over to the edge where I rested, recovering from what could have been a death blow. The wound that I realized most was my tongue. I wasn't sure if I had retained the entirety of it- if I had not had such a large overbite, I most definitely would be without the tip right now. However, I was lucky and only had a cut on the underneath made by the bottom teeth. I felt well enough otherwise- until the following day. It was a fast Sunday, and I usually feel tired and hungry, but not like I did today. I felt extraordinarily tired and I had an ache in my neck and sinuses. The chlorine that was pressed into my sinuses has remained and developed into an infection. However, the odd occurrence was the disappearance of my lower back ache. Apparently the titan was a chiropractor and knew of my pains, so had decided to heal me for free. I just must not have seen the warning label that said, "may cause sinus infections, neck problems, and biting off of tongue." Overall, although the result my be painful, if the medicine worked, it was worth it.
