My face!

I can actually say that this injury was probably one of the worst I've ever experienced... which is totally sad, because this one was really not that bad. I've just had a pretty boring life as far as injuries go... I'm totally fine now, and I'm actually even able to laugh about it. So, no worrying!

Here's the story:
Garrett and I were helping our friend move a really heavy cabinet (a Kleiderschrank for those of you who speak German... there's really not a good English equivalent) to her second story apartment, and one of the back panels came loose and hit me in the face! At first it just hurt, but not too bad, so I had no idea what happened. When we got to the top of the stairs, I felt something running down my face. When we set it down, Garrett looked over and told me I was bleeding a lot. Luckily, Garrett has a merit badge from scouts for first aid, so he cleaned up my face and took great care of me! It's totally fine now-the cut is healing very nicely. I do have a bit of a black eye, but that's to be expected when one suffers an injury in that general vicinity!

I actually think the bandaid on my face (which Garrett insisted I wear :p) was worse than the actual injury. Hey, at least we learned the word for bandaid... Pflaster. It reminds me of Larry the Cucumber from Veggie Tales, and how he learns the word for lip in Polish when he spends six weeks in lip rehab after getting his lip stuck in a gate... There's good that comes out of every situation. :)

Nicole-Omg. I did think of you, and how you would have told me not to be embarrassed, just like when I didn't want to take the chocolate chips into Walgreens. hahaha
