I Didn't Know You Could Do That!

I slow motion hit my head.

You know those times when you bash your head on something and it stings and hurts and you know there's going to be a bump and you even maybe check for blood to see if you cut yourself?  Most often, I find, this happens when you stand up into something.  And usually it happens quickly.  Know what I mean?

Yeah, so I was getting changed after swimming the other day and was reaching down slowly to grab one of my shoes, like I really wasn't in a rush or anything, and you know that part of a locker that sticks out so that when you close the locker you can slide your lock through it?  Well as I was in slow motion bending over to grab my shoe, my head hit (I swear, slowly) into that thing.

Ow. (I thought)

I straightened back up (don't remember if I grabbed the shoe, doesn't really matter!) and touched my head immediately wondering if there was blood as it hurt quite a bit.  I was really surprised because I don't remember ever hitting the top of my head while bending in a downwards motion so there was some level of internal confusion.  

I knew right away what I'd hit but I was surprised it had happened and that it hurt so much for not being done very quickly or, I thought, particularly hard?

By the time I got back home I had mostly forgotten about it, until I went to wash my hair and then OW, there's a lump!  Holy smokes, I really did hit it quite hard then!?

A few days later and the lump is still there and sore to the touch but yeah, hurting the top of your head in slow motion is a really weird feeling.
