Now I just look like a burn vicitm, with sections of fleshy pink stripes across my face. Somehow my iPod, helmet, and bicycle made it through unharmed; not the bell that was on my bike, however.

My acumen is less than satisfactory, in my opinion. That is, I find it lacking – though I’m trying to give myself time to heal. I often find myself struggling for the right words, where once they used to come easily.

I had, after all, a mild concussion. I don’t remember losing consciousness, but I definitely did a few times. I do remember flashes of the gurney and the emergency room. My one eye is still droopy, besides. I still wonder if I gave a peep show since I was wearing a skirt when I flipped over my handlebars.
