Photo Story Fri: My Fractured Skull
Blogging is a great form of therapy. While I don't necessarily want to delve into why I need it today, let's suffice it to say I've moved. There. I'll leave it at that.
But, something great has happened in spite of the move... or rather because of it. I know this picture shouldn't really bring a smile to anyone's face... and definitely not a shout for joy... especially from the person who is in the picture. But, I thought I had lost this. And finding it was a welcome surprise! Why?
This picture was taken after I had 42 staples removed from my head in 1993. I suffered an epidural hematoma and a fractured skull. Somehow, looking at this picture reminds me that life really is one big roller coaster ride with lots of ups and downs and that through it all, the lessons I've learned have all been worth it. This picture keeps it all in perspective for me. There's a lot to learn... even in the toughest of times. It's all about remembering that in the midst of the rough patches, right? Like today!

"patches" ahhh I get it!? Oh my gosh.. that picture is AWFUL.. as in FREAKING awful.. girl.. You don't look like you at all there? Srsly 93 pounds?
Nice perspective indeed. Good luck in the new diggs... You'll be great!
Oh my gosh, still dying at that picture...
June 4, 2009 at 9:27 PM
That is a dramatic reminder of the fragility of life!
I hope everything is okay with you.
Moving sucks. There's no two ways about that.
June 4, 2009 at 9:44 PM
Oh my gosh! Wow, you still had a smile on your face.
June 5, 2009 at 12:35 AM
Wow, you are one tough chica! I would think that would help keep life in perspective!
June 5, 2009 at 4:02 AM
like kristina, i noticed the smile on your face. humans are resilient creatures, aren't they?
June 5, 2009 at 7:39 AM
Wow that looks very very painful indeed, I think that people are so strong when they need to be and it's amazing just how strong they can bee.
great photo friday
June 5, 2009 at 8:26 AM
Ups and downs. Yep! I don't know what is up or down with you but I will keep you in my thoughts.
June 5, 2009 at 8:46 AM
HOLY FAR-reaking COW! I'm with Carissa...that is awful! How is it that you're grinning?
But on the bright side, you moved closer to ME! And since it's all about yours truly, that IS a bright side!!! Wooooo!
June 5, 2009 at 10:44 AM
I love that you're smiling and you look so beautiful! Always good to remember that times can turn on a dime. Great post.
June 5, 2009 at 1:06 PM
Great perspective indeed. Life is so fragile. And, look at you smiling in the picture.
And, I can't think of one fun thing about the actual moving process.
June 6, 2009 at 12:21 PM
Yikes! That looks like it was an ordeal! Glad that you didn't loose that photo perspective.
June 6, 2009 at 2:54 PM
WOW! I'm so glad you posted this. I don't think I realized what you went through and this kind of shows! Amazing, and I can still see your smiling face!!
June 10, 2009 at 4:29 PM
Ya, I know, the rough patches. We all hope the patches stay attached to what they are patching up, otherwise the effort is heart breaking. I hope your patches stay put. Good perspective on life. All it takes is a reminder that in a blink of an eye, everything meaningful to us could be gone. All the best to you!
