Stitches...

I got stitches! This isn't exactly recent- I got them 2 days ago- but I didn't really have much time to blog. Here's how I got them...

We got out of lunch and went to recess which was moved indoors due to rain after a minute or two. I was running to put my lunch box, which is blue and has a really long strap, in the place where we put our lunch boxes. I tripped and fell on the super long strap of my lunch box and the sand-stuff on the blacktop. So I fell onto the blacktop and I got a pretty bad cut on my right pinkie, a sort of-almost-maybe bad cut on my right wrist and a scrape that wasn't horrible on my right knee. Then I went to the nurse who cleaned me up a lot and called my mom. She came and we went to the doctors office. They asked me a bunch of questions about how deep it was and stuff, and then they refused to open the bandage and sent me to the hospital to get stitches in the ER. I hadn't ever had stitches before so it was really scary. There was a really nice doctor and nurse. They numbed my finger so I couldn't feel anything and it felt like it had swelled three times it's normal size. My mom, who was brave enough to actually watch, says that it swelled twice the size it should be. I got 5 stitches all in my pinkie. The doctors gave me some pink medicine stuff to put on it when I changed it- twice a day-, wrapped up my whole hand really well and gave me a syringe for some crazy reason. Oh, and they gave me a Nancy Drew mystery. It was annoying because I was so happy that it was over and I couldn't feel anything but then the numbness wore off and it hurt sort of bad. It's been getting so much better and I have to get the stitches taken out in 6-8 days today, the 16th, because when I got them it was the 14th and I was supposed to get them taken off in 8-10 days.

Okay. That's that about my stitches.
