Hey Nate!
Good thing you got to the Drs' office - a Sub-Dermal Hemotoma (sp?) (SDH) could be your death.
A friend of mine, a few years ago, slipped at a bar and whacked his head on the bar's pool-table on the way to the floor.
He got up, laughed it off and thought it was a "good-sized bump" on the side of his noggin' behind his right ear. That happened on a Tuesday night.
Next morning, got up, felt sorta' sick, called in and said he'd be out for the day.
Thursday morning, got up again, still felt sick, called in and stayed home.
Friday morning - got up - headed into the bathroom - saw that the right side of his face was completely swollen up and distorted (said he looked a little like the elephant man - this was the blood FINALLY leaking from the INSIDE of the skull out and into the area below the skin) - got into his car and headed over to the local hospital in Sparta - one look from the Drs. there and they threw him into an ambulance and rushed him into the ER over in La Crosse. They had him on the table and split his head open to work on, and remove, the SDH he got back on Tuesday.
The doctor that performed the surgery told his wife that IF he had waited anymore than another hour or so to get over to that hospital in Sparta, to begin with, they would have lost him. As it was, he was almost a goner when the hospital in La Crosse got him.
BTW Nate, the road(s) you were doing your little stunts on - would that have happened to be out by the radio towers on County Road H and M over in Dunn County, just north of Hwy 29?
When I was coming back into town, I noticed a bit of "slippin' and slidin'" going on...that was your truck doin' that, eh?
I also noticed some of the same on 'T,' just north of the tracks over by the
Silver Spring plant and the North Bypass/312 area? You doin' doughnuts out there too?
