The More You Know

[changeyourstars8]

Foot wounds apparently bleed almost as badly as head wounds do.

A couple of weeks ago, a large lightbulb fell off a shelf and shattered all over the kitchen floor. We have no idea how it did that, as it was at the very back of the shelf and no doors slammed or cats attacked it. Mom was here at the time, so I picked up the larger pieces and she helped sweep and mop. Went around for a few days wearing shoes just in case.

So tonight, as I'm going around the kitchen cleaning up, guess what I step on.

Little shard, thankfully (I cursed enough with this one; I would've had to invent new cuss words if it'd been bigger). Pulled it out, and the seemingly-tiny wound starts pouring blood. Yay. So I leave a bright red trail all the way to the bathroom. And it's decidedly hard to hop when you're six months pregnant, by the way. Too bad nobody's ever around to film these things for YouTube.

There is a larger lesson in all this, though-- cleaning is obviously bad for my health. I should just sit here and type. ;-)

Are you okay? Do you need stitches?

Yeah, I'm fine-- going to be limping for a couple of days since it hurts to put weight on it, but once it stopped bleeding so much and I put some medicine on it, no problem.
