stitches

in light of ama's sister's accident with the scissors, shu asked why i have so many stitches.. (i hope her fingers are better now ama..)

i got 3 on the back of my head when i was about 5 or 6 i'm not sure.. i fell into a drain haha.. i only remember chewing gum and then i was in the drain.. and then they rushed me to thomson medical ctr to stitch up my head.. i cant remember much except that my sister kept blaming me for causing us to miss beauty and the beast at the cinema.. haha such a loving sister i have.. actually i must've been about 5 or younger cos i dont remember my brother being around.. and i also had to live with a bald spot on my head for a few years..

i got another 3 on the side of my head, very close to my left eye, when i was in sec2.. we were having pe and were playing netball and my friend accidentally (i hope) tripped me and i fell and hit my head on the floor.. the first thought i had was "shit, thats painful!" and i touched my head and when i saw the blood on my hand i freaked out.. there was so much blood from such a small wound, but i guess it was deep.. and then i felt like i was going to pass out and my teacher kept talking to me but i dont remember a word she said.. then i had to go home and my mom took me to the school doc (some posh one in town) and he stitched up my head, and he did a really neat job too :)

less than a year later, in sec3, i got another 8 stitches on my leg. i was training and side jumping over the hurdles and i guess i was playing a fool and i tripped and fell on the metal part of the hurdle.. i tumbled and then i got up and smiled sheepishly at my coach and then i noticed my leg was kinda hurting a lot.. i saw my skin hanging out and i saw the white stuff under it, which i suppose is the fatty layer, and then the blood started coming out and trickling down my legs.. and i was like "ahhhh!!!!" yea and my teacher rushed to get a towel and stop the bleeding and that was even more painful.. and in the rush someone stepped on my glasses and then they rushed me to KKH A&E in a car.. and when i got there they got the cheek to make me WAIT!!! WHILE I WAS BLEEDING TO DEATH! ok exaggerating.. :) anyway, my teacher or mom (cant remember) got really angry and the nurse relented and decided to clean up the wound and put a dressing on it while i was waiting cos the whole time it was just wrapped in a sweaty towel.. yea and finally the doctor stitched it up and she did quite a messy job.. but i guess it was difficult cos the skin was all over and stuff..

so yea now i have an ugly scar on my gorgeous legs and a blad spot on the back of my head, actually that one's probably not there anymore.. heh stitches are quite cool, although they put you on general anaesthesia, you can feel the prick of the needle and the "thread" going through your skin, but its not painful la..

i'm posting so much today cos i'm really bored.. still havent decided whether or not to go for camp..

life is weird, sometimes i really have zilch, zero, nothing to do and then suddenly i have to many engagements i dunno what to do.. and from experience, when that happens i usually just blow everyone off and stay home and read or sleep haha but i wont do that this time.. probably not going for camp la too last minute..
