It was on a early school morning in May around 7:30a.m. when I was getting out of my car to get on the EGUSD bus because I was going on a field trip to Sac State! Well my day did not go as I had planned it to be. I got out of my car and had a lot of stuff in my hands so when i went to go close the door i didn't have the best grip. Well as you can probably tell I accidentely slamed my finger in the door :( I was in such a shock I just stood there for a few minutes taking into realization what had just happened. Underneath my nail immediately started to turn a dark blue color because it was bleeding under the nail so hard. It started hurting really bad so I just squeezed my finger so that maybe it wouldn't hurt so bad anymore. Well let me tell you that was not the case. Since I thought it was going to get better and the pain would just go away after a while I decided to go to the field trip as I had planned. So unfortunately I didn't tell anyone what I had just done. So I got on the bus and we left well... on the way to Sac State I started to feel really naucius and felt like I was going to throw up. Yet again I didn't tell the teacher that I was feeling really sick. I decided that I must do something, so I decided to lay down and try to sleep until I got to Sac State, at this point I didn't care what I looked like anymore so I curled myself up on the bus seat and just slept . Well we made it to Sac State and went to the room where the conference was being held, there we were served breakfast items. After I ate my breakfast I was still in pain and not feeling good at all, so I went up to one of the helpers and showed her my finger and asked her if i could get a bag of ice to put on it. Thankfully she came to my rescue and was able to get me some ice. Unfortunately the bag of ice did not last all day it eventually melted and wasn't of much help, well to make a long story short I wasn't able to leave the field trip because we took the bus and I couldn't find the teacher .... So on my way home I called my Mom and told her it was still throbbing even after I bought medicine from the student store @Sac State, so she told me to just hurry up and get home and that she would meet me there and then we would go to the hospital. I finally made it home and took got some more ice because the pain was just unbearable. Then I went and laid on the couch until my Mom got home then we hurried up to Mercy hospital downtown. We made it to the ER and then we went back into a room they got all my personal info and then took my Mom and I back into an actual emergency room with a bed and everything, it actually was kinda creepy. They took my xrays and said that I didn't break any bones or anything, so that was good.lol. Well... then my just had to wait for the doctor to see what he was going to do. About 10 minutes later the doctor came in and took a look @ my nail and said that he was going to have to drill a little hole through the nail with the needle, but it wasn't going to hurt. Amazingly it didn't hurt just as he had said. But what did hurt was when the hole was made and he pressed down on my finger nail to help the draining, so that later on the pressure under my nail wouldn't be so bad anymore!!! So after we were all done @ the hospital, I told my Mom that Big Spoon sounded really good and so she took me there as a little treat!! I love my Mommy :) Thanks for all that you helped me with Mommy, you helped me and my finger to feel better.lol. O yeah and I can't forget thanks Dad for letting me borrow a few of those Vicadin pills they were grrrrrrrrrreat.lol. jk. Hope you all enjoyed my wonderful story!!! ha ha. So one word of advice Please be careful when opening and shutting doors because I don't wanta have to see anyone suffer the horrible pain I experienced.lol. PEACE.
