Holy moley folks, now I want to make ice cream. And I am pretty sure DH bought a pint of heavy cream too. Well dang. It really SHOULD be done.
My kids are pretending to have broken feet. Egad. Cute but worrisome.
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I keep finding new injuries. You know, I'm kinda' amazed I didn't break anything - the force of the impact was much heavier than the times I slipped on ice and broke bones... but then both those times my body weight (or much of it) all landed at one point.

tommy, you might want to get checked out. With my dad's worst accident, he was transported in an ambulance to the ER after regaining conciousness, had a full check out, and still they missed a broken pinky hand bone (I think they were more concerned with the scraped off face and head trauma...) He didn't even notice it for a few days. Ended up healing wrong even after being casted and he had to have it rebroken and pinned.
So...don't be like my dad.

The police offered to call an ambulance. I considered it. But I was fully conscious the whole time. I also moved all my fingers, twisted my wrists, etc.

Also, I figured out why I didn't see the pothole. It wasn't the usual kind with missing chunks of pavement. The pavement had deformed over a small area, forming a fairly deep depression. It's the kind of 3-D shape my brain would be unable to figure out due to my poor vision in one eye.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

After my car accident just about this time last year? Same thing. Didn't even bump my head. Yeah, concussion.
And that's not something you want to learn several days after the fact. I'd recommend getting checked out. I was spectacularly lucky but I don't endorse it.

What she said. Better safe and all that. At worst, they'll be amazed you were so unscathed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, you don't have to lose consciousness to get a concussion. Five or so concussions down the line I can say that with no little authority.
Where's a responsible place to suggest meeting someone for dinner who's in Pasadena? If she can travel more than I can? Am I being shitty if I don't go into the Valley?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I would also recommend getting checked out. I know from my kitty mauling that shock, for me at least, seems to manifest itself by me thinking I am fine!
