Some benefits from scars...

"BROKEN,SLICING,STITCHING"

So...I must have some bad karma with the right side of my body, because I've had surgery on my knee, broken my wirst, and NOW almost sliced my finger off!!! Holy Cow! I was cleaning my car out and My friend and I had drank these self heating hot Chocolates (Very good by the way!) and there is a lid on the bottom of it that is the type of lid on a can of Spam, well...it was on my floor and I was in a hurry to get to school and BAM! Blood gushing everywhere! My mom had already left for work so I took it to my dad, I washed it off and the blood just kept coming! My dad just said (exact words) "Just put a band aid on it you'll be fine" So I took his advice and did so. That same day I was going on a fieldtrip to glendale, and I was kind of worried about my finger, by the time I got to school my bandaid was drenched in blood, (some bandaid!) haha. Well, I called my mom, and luckily since she works in scottsdale she was able to meet me. She took me to urgent care and it was there that I recieved 4 stitches.

THE GRAPHIC PART:
My wound would be describe liked this; If you've seen jaws, then you'll be able to picture it. If you lifted up the chunk of skin on my finger it Would look like a mini jaws took a bite of my finger the Flesh was MEATY looking, *my stomach is turning just thinkin about it* I took a good chunk. I mean the stiches obviously held it together but its still gross!!! I almost became a 9 1/2 fingered woman!

Lesson Learned...Never LEAVE garbage in your car! *or let your friends leave their garbage!*

Who knew that because of this injury I don't have any feeling in the tip of my middle finger! haha. I learned that today as I straightened my hair. The straightener slipped out of my hand and swiped my middle finger as it dropped. I instantly saw it turn red and waited for the pain! but to my knowledge I felt NONE! haha. I guess my nerves are completly gone in that area. On the scar specifically I couldn't feel it but below it and even to the right of it I could. It was indeed a weird feeling. To this day you can feel the scar on my finger I wonder if its altered my finger print?? haha.

Along with this scar I have gained a new one to add to it. Exactly ONE year ago on this day I got a new scar; on my RIGHT hand! haha. doing the EXACT same thing...cleaning out my car. That dang Chevy Malibu wanted to leave its mark before I traded it in for my Hyundai! haha. I was throwing something into my trunk while talking to my cousin and as I took my hands out of the trunk I knicked the roof of it and a sharp piece of metal sliced it open my skin. i could see my bone! I quickly grabbed a pair of old jeans as the blood came, laughed and went to the ER. "HERE WE GO AGAIN!!" hahaha.

I don't know what my deal is...I swear I don't go looking for things to cut myself with! Its all accident.

 On the bright side...all my scars are great conversation starters! Especially the one on my thumb! haha.
