Cement Faceplant

You know how, when you faint, you don't want to be climbing stairs at the time. I guess I forgot about that.
Have you ever woken up and and wondered how you got where your at? I did that on Thursday morning.
I fainted on our deck stairs and fell. I landed on my face. I don't really remember how I was laying, but I know I was face down on a cement slab.

My ear was the only place I bled a lot. The rest was just minor scrapes. I did, however, break several bones in my face. I cracked my right sinus area in 3 places; I broke my cheekbone, its now setting askew. I also have a hairline crack in my lower orbit (where my eye sits).

If you've got fainting on your list of things to do, I recommend you do it on a flat surface. Fainting in bed would be perfect. I also recommend you plan your fainting much better than I did. I could have at least placed a pillow on the cement landing I stopped at.
