I got pwn3d by a heater last night (fell head first into it)
I was playing with my dog on the floor, being rough and doing tug-o-war with some rope so I was bent over and blood was rushing to my head... so I stand up cuz I was getting a little dizzy, as soon as I stood up I was overwhelmed with vertigo... I honestly have never felt that dizzy in my entire life, and it happened so suddenly.
The logical thing to do was sit down on my bed which was right next to me so I don't fall down, but the dizziness was so strong that I didn't make it to my bed... Instead I started to fall down and went head first into one of those old school heaters, the radiator ones (like the pic below)
(only mine is really big and more heavy duty)
I hit it with so much force that I bent the fin that I made contact with. You can't tell from the picture below because this is pictured after we cleaned all the blood up and it isn't swollen or bruised yet like it is now... The pic was taken like 10 mins after it happened so it doesn't look as bad
Right between the eyes and it hurts like a mother f'er... It's a weird kind of pain, feels like I bruised the bone... But yeah, I got pwn3d pretty badly... I still feel kind of dizzy from the fall (which happened last night at around 1am)... Doctor said it would probably last a couple days so I'm not allowed to drive until then.
This isn't my week... First I almost die from the allergic reaction, now this... bad things come in 3's, so I'm waiting for one more thing to happen.

DUDE you seriously need to lock yourself up for a few days...im not looking forward to tomorrows thread. Take this as a "groundhogs day" type warning

i had this happen once a few years ago. got super bad headrush and ended up falling over. youre lucky you didnt end up like me and walk away with a triple fracture to the jaw and stitches in your chin. yikes, that was a fun month with my mouth wired shut. anyways take care and watch out for those heaters.
Glad you're okay though. I passed out from exhaustion 6 months ago and had two root canals, a series of tests, and a debt from dental implants.
