Smacked on the chin by a hook!

Nooo, not a hook-er, but a shepherd's hook, the kind you stick in the ground to hang plants on. Because the backyard birds like sitting on the two plants hanging there, we left them hanging beyond the fall weather. With the snow and ice we have had, the plants, unnoticed by us, grew heavier. The pole they were hanging on fell over yesterday, with the baskets attached. I went out to get the baskets off so the pole would not bend. One hook that held a basket was stuck. When I finally forced it off the steel pole, the pole popped forward and hit me sort of forcefully on my chin. An inch or so higher and I would have lost some teeth. All I got was a superficial cut needing a band-aid and Polysporin. It looks fine this morning. I told Anne this proves that I can "take it on the chin." I am sure it was not a left hook.
