Something funny happened to me

Last Thursday I fell while getting into the shower.smashing my right cheek against the corner of the shower wall.  It swelled up and I couldn't see out of my right eye but the swelling went down later.  Until Tuesday when my cheek started swelling back up and hurting real bad.  Last night I was hurting so bad I was tempted to call for an ambulance and my mother was offering to take me to the hospital.

Well one of the medications I take is Toradol, which is a super duper anti-inflammatory.  And in twenty minutes the pain went away and the swelling went down.

Until today when it came back with a vengeance.

Toradol wasn't helping, so about 5:30 pm I drove myself to the Emergency Room in Portland about 27 miles away.

As I was pulling into the parking lot I saw 3 boys running along side of drive and I slowed down and stopped to let them cross.  The boy in the front with a kick scooter slipped on the mud and fell down.

The two boys with him started ragging on him.

They boy got up and they all crossed the driveway and as I let off the brake and started pulling away I heard one of the boys say to the one who fell.

"Man you just did that in front of Santa Claus."

What do you think?  Am I Santa Claus?

Oh and the swelling?  Evidently when I fell and smashed my cheek, the crown on my molar cut my gum and now I have an abscess.

So I'm on a 10 day course of antibiotics.
