I was straightening my hair to go out and when I went under the sink to get my straightener, I forgot to close the door to underneath the sink and after I was done straightening, I flipped my head over to fix my hair and when I went to flip it over, I smacked my head right into the edge of the door.
I turned around and went to walk out into the parlor to sit down for a second, but then I felt something wet going down the side of my face. Before I touched it, I was like oh god please don't be blood.
And it was. That's when I freaked out. I went and got a frozen bag of veggies from the freezer. Then I called B on first instinct. It took two tries but he picked up and then left to come.
Next I called C, cause I figured he was at work and could tell me what to do and if I needed him he could come down. No answer.
I called J twice, then I called my mom. No answer. I texted her with one hand and the exact thing I sent was, "U NESD 2 pick up i hit my head bleeding" she called right after and told me to put a cold wet wash cloth and pressure on it.
I slowly dressed myself with one hand cause I wasn't gonna go to the ER in PJ's.
B got there and sat with me on the couch while we waited for my mom.
She got there and I sat down on the step and she looked at my head. She told me to get in the car and told B he can come if he wants. B said yes which surprised me and made me really happy.
We rode to the hospital, my head on B's shoulder. A huge thunderstorm started, lightening and everything. It was awesome.
When we got there my mom did the check in stuff and me and B sat there watching a really badly made soap opera on the waiting room tv.
They took me in and a really pretty nurse with short black hair looked at it and told me I might need a staple. I broke down crying. I was honestly horrified they were going to have to shave my hair. But they didn't. Instead, they took me into another room where a black doctor came in trying to crack jokes while I was shaking and crying. Didn't work. He looked at it and said it does need a staple. I was crying and crying after that. Holding B's hand and hearing my mom and him reassuring me.
The nurse and the doctor came in and they stapled it. It was like banging my head all over again..Ow.
After that I got pills, instructions on how to take care of it, and a tetnus shot.. if that's how you spell it. I go back in 7 days to get the staple out.
Fabulous, right?
