The Day the Bathtub Hated Me

dotintheskyI almost died in the bathtub this morning. I was leaning my left leg on the edge, soaping my feet, when I slid and dove head first. Imagine someone doing a somersault inside a bathtub, hitting their legs on the wall, crunching their chest as their arms are pressed together in the slide, until their head hits the tap. Yup, that was me.
My fall woke up Natalia. She came rushing to the bathroom, shouting if I was ok. I couldn't breathe and my chest hurt like fuck. I asked for Kevin to come in and he gave me my towel. After a couple of minutes, I was well enough to wash the conditioner off my hair and go back to the bedroom. Kevin said I should stay home but not go to sleep (in case I have a concussion); Natalia wants me to go see the nurse at work as soon as I get there because my chest hurts (I feel as if my chest ribs got a beating). I've taken some pills and the pain seems to be going away.
The last song I heard before I had my fall was "The Killing Moon", by Echo and the Bunnyman. I was singing it to myself before I fell. It would have been a nice last song.
If I had died in my bathtub, many people on LJ would have thought I faked my death. And I wouldn't begrudge them that since it would have been a pretty fucking stupid death.
