Attack of the Squirrel..

With a painful start to the day, yesterday actually turned out quite nice, apart from being picked on by a nutty squirrel. YES you did read rite!

Yesterday morning, whilst getting my medication from the chemist, i was walking back towards the flat when suddenly i felt something hit me on the head. It hit me exactly where my scar is on the left hand side of the head. At first i was a little confused as to what had happened, i thought someone had hit me, but then realised what it was. Laying on the ground, and had been split in two by the force of it hitting my head, lay a conker the size of an apple.

When i looked up into the tree, there sat on a branch, looking sorry for itself, was this little brown squirrel. At fist it looked a little scared and shabby, i thought it must have dropped it whilst carrying into its hide away, but then i am sure i heard the dam thing giggle! Then suddenly it just ran around the back of the tree and it was gone. As i continued to walk down the road, rubbing the top of my head as i went, i suddenly felt something dug in my head, with my fingers i pulled it out., It was only one of the spikes you find on the outside of the conker shell. OUCH! Roughly five minuets later i had an attack, was my only attack of the day thank god, and i didn't have any more attacks until late last night and early this morning.

I still cant believe my luck, to be walking along and get struck in the head by a massive conker LOL. If it had happened to someone else i probably wouldn’t have believed it.

With more nice weather advertised i think its a day out doors today as i am now getting fed up of being shut inside all the time. I cant wait for my hospital appointment as i have loads to tell the specialist, especially how the head has been reacting to the changes in weather.
