Thursday, 22nd June 2006. My day started out pretty normal. Early to rise for my 0530 shift. I was pushing myself by remembering that there's only 2 more days to the long weekend. Getting to work I find out that i have gate duties for the first half of the day. I do the first flight ok but on my way into the gate for the 2nd flight (about 0820), something wierd happens. I remember walking past the podium then waking up behind the podium in a wheelchair with the RMG nurse tending to me. My DMs Brigette and Gerard standing round me asking if I knew where I was.
I remember looking round at the gate, passengers were in and milling around. I looked down to see blood on my shirt. Pity i wasn't concious enuf to take a pic of myself. My head was ringing with an enormous headache.
Next thing I know, I'm at the RMG with a Doctor looking at me. Brigette is arranging for me to be sent home. RamJo is assigned that duty since he was finishing his shift. That was around 0917. The trip home was a quiet one with me breaking the silence asking about what happened but RamJo was not able to fill me in cos he wasn't there when it happened.
The RMG Doc gave me a letter to report to the A&E so I did. The doctor there asked me to explain exactly what happened, DUH! I was out cold, how should i know. So I called gerard and asked him to fill me in. I was out only for a minute or two. Jerking epileptically. but my woozyness lasted about 30mins. I must have fallen forward cos I have a host of injuies to my face. I bit the side of my tongue. Bit the inside of my right lower lip which is swollen right now. Eating is difficult. I have 2 blue/black areas on my lip. A slight pain in my chest, superficial only. And a scratch next to my right eye. It looks like I got into a fight!
I have another Doc's appointment on the 2nd of August. I'm on meds now and resting.
