All of a sudden the wind started to pick up. I was almost home. I sprinted to my front door and hid inside. Little did I know that that wind would cause so many problems. One of the most confusing days of my life consisted of lots of phone calls, missing a day of school, and even an urgent care visit! It was a great day. Everything was fine and stress free. As soon as i opened the door to leave school, a blast of wind blew me a few inches away from the door. “Oh my gosh!” we all exclaimed. I finally made it onto the bus and out of the wind. A few stops later, and it was my turn to get off the bus. Everyone prepared themselves by putting their jackets on and hoods up, because we knew how crazy the wind was going to be. I jumped off the bus …show more content…
Of course, being the dramatic person I am, I was imagining every terrible thing possible. “What if they have to take my eyeball out?...What if they can’t find anything and I'll be stuck like this forever?...What if they have to numb my eye with a needle or something?” After 30 minutes of paranoia, we made it to urgent care. As soon as i walked in, people were staring at my ugly, purple, swollen eyelid. I couldn't wait for them to call me back so people would stop looking at me. I was relieved when the nurse called ‘Lauryn Tharp’. They took me back to the room and the nurse looked at my eye. To make matters worse, he couldn’t figure out how to turn on the machine! It took the 7 longest minutes of my life for him to look at my eye. Guess what he found! Nothing! I started to get even more paranoid. I laid back on the chair and the nurse told me to close my eye. All of a sudden he flipped my eyelid inside out and behold! There it was; a huge chunk of dirt. He swabbed it with a q-tip and i could finally see again! My dad and I had no clue how this dirt got into my eye. Suddenly, my mind went back to running home from the bus stop. It must have flew into my eye then. My eye was very irritated and had a few abrasions, so the nurse gave me eye drops and told me not to touch it. I went home, and was all better the next
The strain on my eye remaining open was great and caused some tension behind my eyes. I found that I felt as though I was going to trip, like my balance was somehow thrown off, but only slightly. I knew where things were in my brain but I felt that what I was seeing
Chunks of rocks hit the dentist and he collapsed on the floor. Two men dressed in black walked in from the collapsed wall and jabbed me with a syringe. My vision tunneled and the last words I heard were, “Operation “Brace for it” is
When I was eight, my family could not believe what I was doing to my nanny on the way to Gatlinburg. My family and I begin to scavenge our belongings to place in my mother 's car, my anxiety and excitement begins to rise. We all start to swarm in the vehicle and to my recollection, I notice the sun beginning to ascend over the horizon. My mother stomped on the gas pedal to accelerate the car forward out of our driveway onto the road. In the car, my parents occupy the front driver and passenger seats, my brother sits next to the window behind my mother and I sit behind my father, which leaves the middle seat for my nanny to take up.
There were 15 of us from my church all squished into two vans. While I climbed into this big van I thought it was going to be so fun to drive up a mountain, see all the appealing scenery and have the thrill of almost feeling like we're going to fall. Well…. I was wrong. Every second there was a huge bump or pothole in the road so our heads were slamming against the side of the van.
We arrive at the Willamette River. The boats in the water and we have a difficult time trying to start it you can smell the very strong fumes from the exhaust of the boat as it's trying to start .We get the boat started and off we go for a little ride, it was time to go wakeboarding so I strapped on my boots and jumped in the water. The water was a little choppy so it would be difficult to ride it was around 11 am and the water was still a little cold and made me shiver. I was waiting in the water for a few minutes while they were getting the wake rope attached to the boat.
The impact on my glasses still hit my eye very hard. Ouch! I can’t imagine that excruciating and agonizing pain anymore. My glasses had a very deep cut. My eye turned purple.
and I was wobbly. I hopped in the car and we drove to the doctors, 25 minutes away. We signed ourselves in and the doctor called my name, she scanned my head and then the news was coming. She said, “Ethan has a minor fractured nose and a concussion.” I was in shock and this was going to ruin my season.
I go to hit it, but pain shoots through me at lightning speed. “Oh honey you 're awake try not to move, your wounds still haven 't fully healed” “Um, am I dreaming? It smells and looks like I’m in the hospital.” I was expecting the nurse to say that I was dreaming, but what she said shocked me.
Just like in the ambulance there were people all around me. I felt a stabbing pain in my hand and jerk it away. The pricks seem to just keep coming. My instincts were to jerk away each time. I got to the point where I was kicking and screaming.
The lady then looked at the paper and realized it was wrong and started to laugh and said “ I am so sorry I wrote the wrong one down.” I knew that if I didn 't notice the papers they would have done surgery on my right knee instead of the left knee. I was moved to another room where other people were surrounded by nurses getting prepared for surgery. The moment I was stationed in my room I was surrounded by different nurses. There was the anesthetic nurse, the head nurse, the assistant nurses and even the nurses that are in training.
*1. " Something new." "Never been guessed before." "A very fresh note. " The critics agreed there was something different going on here.
I was told my mother was on her way and would meet me there. The two words, "Emergency Room" made me think football might be over, When we finally arrived at the hospital; the paramedics took me to an empty bed where my Mom was already waiting. I have never like hospitals, everyone always sounds like they are going to die and the constant long drawn out beeps from the heart monitors always going off. The smell in the hospital didn’t help either. The nurse came in with a needle that in my memory looked long enough to go through my arm. "
I thought my hands were going to crack and my eyes could blow up! Maybe that is why I wear glasses now! Ha! Maybe so…..?
After having been seated for quite a while the doctor came in and explained what would be going on. I was mortified to hear him explain how they would go about yanking out my teeth. And before I knew it was time for them to start. They leaned me back in the chair and began to talk among themselves. I was trying to mentally prepare myself for the pain.
