So this piece of 2x4 flew off of this table saw and hit me in the ribs. If you have never had a 2x4 hit you, let me just tell you...it hurts like bloody hell...and it is really scary. 
I was working on my laundry room storage project and was cutting lumber for that and I think I was getting tired and careless. I decided the gods were trying to tell me that maybe I had done enough on the basement for a day. Here's my thing though, while the board only hit me in the ribs, my entire torso hurts and I've been exhausted ever since. I think maybe I tensed up at being struck and then crashed after the initial adrenalin rush.
I am lucky that it hit me flat rather than with the pointy end.

Have you seen a doctor yet to check for cracked ribs or some other internal injury?
Treetie, Treetie, Treetie...
I am glad it didn't do more damage than it did. And, of course, your big, strong husband isn't there to help you. I am glad it didn't do more damage than it did. Did the whole episode scare Schnuffy?
Schnuffy...don't even get me started on that vile creature! While I was cutting up lumber to build my storage unit, Schnuffy was peeing in the exact location where it was going to go. Unfortunately, there wasn't a litter box there.
Tess, that is really really scary!! I bet your body is sore from all that tensing up as that deadly piece of wood came flying at you. Ouch is right.
