Head injury quickly healed

Two years ago I returned home from an overseas business trip—an extensive journey of visiting 11 cities in two countries, and speaking to over 20 groups during a three-week period. The trip had been a success and had given me a great feeling of accomplishment, but I was very glad to come home.

The morning after my arrival I remember thinking, Now I can have a relaxing weekend. I drove to the post office and returned with a large box of mail to carry in. It was early spring in New England, so we still had snow drifts on parts of the driveway. To avoid them I walked along the side of the house and, forgetting about an overhanging window, walked right into the corner of it, hitting the top of my head. The force of the impact sent me falling back into the snow, scattering the mail over the driveway.

I'd been walking at a good pace when I hit the metal overhang. Instinctively, I put my hand on the area. It was alarming at first. I felt a gap in the flesh, and blood was coming down the side of my head, although not a lot.
