Hit by a Mirror

Well, by one of the 2 doors to the medicine chest. We were getting ready for the shower. I moved the sliding medicine chest door, as far as I know the same way I always move it. The door fell on my head and shattered, into the sink and on the floor. Impressive and scary.

mnemex and I picked up some of the major pieces, then went out to put on shoes. Then, I noticed the back of one of my knuckles bleeding, not major, not hurting. mnemex sent me to the kitchen to wash it out. I did this, and he used some direct pressure, and then I used a bit of brown paper bag to help the clotting. He got gloves and did some cleaning, mopping, and sweeping. We decided to ditch the floor rug, not having a good way to tell if the glass was out of it.

We're now running the shower for a few minutes, thought we don't think anything got into the tub.

A bit of adrenaline here. Still getting the odd tingle / sharp quick pain that I think is my body testing to see that everything's in one piece. No scalp cut -- just the tiny finger, and mnemex, fortunately, is uninjured.

We are sure this isn't the 7 years thing. That mirror shattered itself on me -- I didn't break it.

Wow. Not something I'm eager to see happen again.

Youch! I think the mirror gets the bad luck. Glad you’re OK.

Thanks. We were shaken, but okay.
