RE: Not exactly a SPUT, but close

DH headed for the golf course this morning, leaving me in charge of painting the rest of the baseboards in the family room.  He had dutifully moved the entertainment center that occupies one wall, but just enough to allow my behind to fit between it and the wall.  The rest of the furniture, I could handle myself.  I was doing a fine job, scooting along (backwards) on my bottom as I painted.  I had finished three walls and had only the entertainment center wall to go.  Grandbabies were due for babysitting in an hour, and I decided not go be too careful painting....after all, it would be behind the entertainment center.  So, paint, scoot backwards, paint, scoot backwards......KABOOM...I tangled with a speaker wire and the speaker crashed on top of my head!!!!  I SAW STARS....felt a warm trickle on my head...I put the paintbrush down carefully with right hand while applying pressure with the left.  I was home alone...what to do?  Used right hand to wad up paper towels and slip it under the left.  Walked to neighbor, who confirmed I was bleeding profusely.  (Yuk, she said.)  She called our #3 son to come and take me to ER.  (He owes me....lots.)  Five hours later, I m home w/staples in my scalp, matted, bloody hair and a promise from DH that I never have to paint again and we can leave Monday to camping in the desert.  (I think the whole thing s worth it.)
