When Horseplay Turns Into Mayhem

We had a nice little Saturday going. We slept in and talked about the great time we had the night before. We made breakfast and watched movies. He told me that he loved me, the first time while being sober! And he said that he wished he could meet my Dad. He told me that he says "Don't worry, I'm taking good care of her" every time he passes my Dad's cemetery. It was one of the happiest days I have had with him. I was excited and happy and in love.

We were in a good, goofy and silly mood. We were joking around and just having fun. We were getting ready to go shopping. While walking down the stairs, my boyfriend paused at the bottom two steps. I put my arms around his neck and jumped up on his back to ride him piggyback style. He lost his balance and we fell. He hit his knee. I bumped my head on the table...hard. Very hard. I immediately got a huge bump on the back of my head. His Dad heard the ruckus and came up from the basement to see what had happened. He was very concerned and my one bump turned into two huge bumps. We took a trip to the hospital and the doctor said I had a concussion.

I was in pain. I had difficulty walking and was dizzy. I was very very tired. I was also sad and disappointed that I had ruined our wonderful day. And it was a very wonderful day. I didn't want that day to end...but it did with a huge crash. I feel stupid to get a concussion over horseplay.

I slept at his house and he and his Dad took care of me. I love my boyfriend. He really did take excellent care of me from holding my hand in the hospital and wiping my tears when I was scared and sad. I love him and hope that he cares for me forever.
