So, a little bit has happened since I was last writing regularly.
First off, I switched back to real school. That's right, I'm no longer a homeschooler. Although this means I don't get to sleep in every day or never change out of my pajamas (two things which, although my homeschooler friends assured me they were just stereotypes and not actually true, I did all year) it does mean that I actually get to have human contact on a regular basis. I'm not so good with the existing-apart-from-society thing.
Second, I decided it'd be a fun pass-time to stop a lawnmower blade with my foot. A word to the wise - unless you have super awesomely strong bones (like me) and/or a relatively weak lawnmower (which may or may not be what I have), it'll probably take a few toes off. For me, it only cut up my shoes and took about... all the skin off the top of the front right side of my foot and a lil' bit of bone.
So, I got to go in an ambulance for the first time in my life. Yay. Though first about six people had to carry me up two hills.... I'm still amazed that I managed to survive that part of the whole ordeal. The funny thing is that I seriously don't remember any pain. I mean, I'm sure I felt pain, but I went into shock almost instantly. Seeing half the skin on your foot pealed back on the wrong side can do that to you.
Oh, and morphine is very good. So is hydroxin.
When used legally, of course. Don't do drugs, kids. People will draw on you and you'll forget to give your friend a ride, and then a big up arrow will obscure your whole vision. It's true - they put it on TV.
Anyway, I was on crutches for... six weeks? Eight? Something like that. Loosing mobility sucks when you have to go places, but it's seriously awesome to have a legit excuse to lie in bed and do absolutely nothing for a really long time. I also found out that my friends actually do love me. Thanks, guys.
Oh, and now I wanna be a docor. Who'd've guessed it, right?
