I was enjoying myself just outside of the kitchen while looking in at the girls cleaning up after dinner...they were having a "dance party" joking with the boys about their rendition of "BYE BYE BYE" that they performed the night before at our talent show...  Everything i am abou to say that followd is only my best recollection as tehre are still just a few things i am not entirely sure of...


A bottle fell from our mound of garbage as i stepped forwa rd into t he kitchen.  I s tepped directly onto it, breaking it underneath my foot.  My first words were "I cut my foot open...under my toes...no like seriously i need to go get stitches..." I had hit the bone and the dark red blood made me sure the cut was too much for a band air... when i was finally able to move and look at it I seen my toes almost cut through.  The next set of words out of my mouth sounded like |...guys its bad...like if my one wasnt there my toes would fall off..."| 

I asked everyone to leave me alone as the bleeding persisted and althuog h concerned, I felt personal interest in teh drama kept waaaaay too many people than the two I entrusted with my care standing by watching ....  With a group full of leaders there were many concerned voices shouting at me.  i was condidant that i was fine to understyand the nature odf my injury and deal with it, but i didnt wanna react angerly to those whose hearts were in teh right place as others tried to help me...


Carrie did a great job as i assisted her with a pressure dressing for my wound when i was ready to move to a vehicle and taken to the emergency clinic... it clotted nicely =) lol... ummm okay anyways,....


I left behind a nice pool of blood as Aubrey, Angel, Allie, and myself headed to the clinic...

The place was great and clean and pretty friendly...less the receptionist who seemed to be having a not-so-good night... I was happy that the clinic was availabel for us to go to.... (so parents, do not worry if ur child needs immediate care, its available!!!!)

The end result was Aubrey stretched out on teh floor holding my hand, angel making finger animation of m toes flapping off (there were two), and the doctor pushing a 6inch needle into my wound 8 times to get the anesthsia to take effect before he ended up sewing 6 stitches to reposition my toes onto my foot... Oh and ALOT OF PAIN AND PAINNNNNNN meds that made me a bit goofy... OH and a R800.00 doctor bill... but at least it was affordable for the money that my mother had for me to use...  THAN K GOD!!!!!
