Stitches?!
Wow, first time ever getting stitches. neutral must say, it sucked...

Sept 28th:
I was babysitting my little brother, and decided that i would make some brownies
[cuz i enjoy baking, even though its currently from the box because i dont have the skills to do everything,
esp chocolate things, home made]
so, while they were baking, i decided to be a good girl--and do the dishes without being told.
what else was i going to do for 25 min?

i was half way done when the 'incident' occurred. i was washing a glass; it was already partially cracked, but it had been no problem before, seeing as ive washed it a few times before hand and nothing happened. well, this time was different. i cleaned the outside, the rim, and stuck my hand in to wash the inside; but when i did that, the crack broke through and when putting my hand through, the glass cut me!!

i was bleeding so much, i have a double sink, i was only using 1 side, yet there were blood in both! i was so scared!! esp because i was home alone. my lil brother was no help, he has downsyndrome so when i asked him to get the phone from my pocket so i could call dad, he looked at me in shock, and ran to his room. so i was left there running my hand under water--trying desperately to stop the bleeding enough to grab the phone from my pocket
and hold my hand together at the same time.

so i finally called dad and he rushed over and checked it out, by then i had stopped bleeding enough to leave the sink to grab a hand towel to put pressure on it. it is about an inch long gash on the back of my hand under my pinky, the cut continues on for another inch-but it isnt nearly as bad as the part under my pinky. it goes around my hand,
so the inch that isnt so bad, is on my palm.

dad rushed me to the hospital, and i had to wait a while of course, but ended up getting 4 stitches under my pinky. and i must say, the shot that is supposed to 'numb' the area while he does the sewing, HURT SO MUCH MORE than getting the actual injury!! x.x... esp cuz im freakishly afraid of needles, and the shot was causing me to bleed more because they give you the shot INSIDE your wound; multiple times!!!

*sigh* they dont get out until about oct 13th...


EDIT:
so, dad never took me! >:U i ended up taking them out, myself, on oct 20th. cuz dad was soo procrastinating on making the appointment =o=
oh well. at least now i have them taped to a sticky note. with their names c:
[yes, i named them!]
paco, pablo, pedro, and vasquez =w=
vasquez was my favorite >w<
but now i have them saved! haha
