Had something interesting happen this weekend.

I was taking my dog Katie out early in the morning Saturday.

She's a Black German Shepherd and very excited when we go out.

It was a little icy and snowy.

Every time we go out, she tends to jolt for whatever... so, I usually hold leash till we are all the way out in back.

I usually put the beginning of the leash under my shoes so it would slow her down when she makes a run for it.

Well, this time it was an interesting set of circumstances.

Katie took off, she didn't get slowed, the leash zipped under my shoes and even before I could jump the rope...

Pow! my feet and legs went 90°.

I fell flat on my back and cracked the back of my head square on the frozen ground.

Fortunately, I cannot be knocked out; fully conscious the whole time.

A little spin and I lay there a bit.

But, here's the interesting bit... I felt better after.

No headache at all.

Wow! I feel amazing even now.

A little sore neck, but mmm-yeah, I can think even better.

However, to give a back story to this.

When I was very young, think I was 5 or 6, I was climbing a tree while standing on a 4 foot fence.

I reached to grab a decayed broken branch with both hands.

The branch broke, I fell back first on to a concrete car park and slammed my head.

The lights went out, but I did not... I couldn't see anything.

I tried hard to get up and was crying, "I Can't See!" stumbling as I tried to find my way.

My family saw what happened and rushed to help.

They said my eyes were circling around rapidly.

I kept crying, "I Can't See!"

Then I began to vomit, dizzy as hell... uhhaa-ah-ahh!!!

Slowly my sight came back; starting in the center and working out to the sides.

If you've ever played around with cutting off the circulation to the head, you might know if you know what I'm saying.

Eventually, I gained full sight and all the while I was fully conscious.

The family kept watch of me to make sure I was ok.

I had a nasty headache for a while and had some wicked dreams, but all got better.

Since then, I always knew, I can never be knocked out.
