My Split Lip
"Ouch!" Let me tell you why I am screaming like crazy. I have just split
my lip. It hurts so bad. Let me start from the beginning.
It was a summer afternoon in Florida and we have
just decided to go out to lunch with my cousins. I’m really excited because
I love hanging with my cousins Brent and Kim. It was a beautiful day but
it was a little too hot. I definitely had to where shorts today. We drove
to this restaurant called Gators. We have just
sat down and I new it was going to be packed with people. It was going
to take the food a long time before it got there. We decide to sit outside;
we sat right on a dock next to the ocean. The mist
of the water was very relaxing. It was great being with everybody. They
got us our drinks and of course I got Iced Tea. That is what you are supposed
to get on a hot day like this one. So I was just sitting there minding
my own business, looking at the water then all of a sudden our food came
I was so relieved, I was starving. I had the best food, than out
of nowhere I slipped under the table because it was too high off
the ground for me. I split my lip on one of those metal bolts in the ground.
There was blood everywhere. I can’t even explain how bad it felt. I felt
pain yet I also felt really stupid about falling under a table.
My mom rushed me immediately to a hospital. I was in there for at least
5 hours. I felt every single thing they were doing. I was staring into
a really bright light. To the right of the light was the doctor numbing
my lip so he could stitch it together. That numbing didn’t do any good
because I felt the thread going in and out of my lip. I could see my mom
next to me with a scared face. I was just glad I split my lip instead of
my head. I was so uncomfortable on that table. I was thinking when is this
over. It was finally done. Then I looked in the mirror. I looked awful.
I can’t even explain in words about what I looked like. I probably broke
the glass of the mirror. After that when people took pictures of me and
looked at them after that I still remember what happened that day. I will
remember what my mom and I had to go through.
