Hi guys,
Been away for a bit had a scary moment last week and ended up in the hospital for a bit.
Story on the short.
Fitting bathroom sink last monday, bent down to fix toilet bowl to floor, WHACK!!! Bang goes the front of my head on the sink...... Stars fall to9 floor, down but not out. Shake it off and finish the job.
(after banging my head another couple of times on the sink!!!)
Tuesday eve, small headache at back of head top of spine.
Wed morn, stonking headache at back of head and round front of head above eyes.
Wed aft - Bummer all is now blurry and can't really see much.... go home from work and lie down for a bit.
wed eve - Gfriend comes home from work, Guess what, can't really see her and headache felt like someone had stuck an axe in the back of my head and was tapping it in with a sledge hammer......
Carted of to A&E by the missus as paracetamol not even touching the headache.
4 hrs later, admited to hospital for observation with possibly PAPILEODEMA (think that is spelt right), basically caused by high BP or bleeding in teh brain!!!! OF course the missus goes a bit worried at this point (teary and all)
Given lots of painkillers and anti inflamitories and kept in overnight with half hourly BP checks (nice for the sleeping pattern NOT!!). Anyway, see the docs in the morning, BP stillextorsionate, still cant see, some one now going full wedge on the axe in the back of my head!!!
CT scan my old lad said the doctor.

on the head if you can lol.
sounds like you either need a bigger bathroom or a smaller head buddy 
reminds me of a few summers back when i walked out into my back garden (barefoot) and trod straight on several razor shells my little ones had stuck in the lawn after theyd been to this beach 
lost 3 pints of blood nearly passed out numerous times 
I survied thanks to my high pain thresh hold and ninja `mind over matter` trainning
