The Hazards of Sewing

Hey Everybody! Amelia here again. I'll post in green (just because it's my favorite color). So here's what happened to me yesterday: I accidentally rammed a sewing machine needle through my finger. OUCH! It even went through the bone. And because the needle fractured (split into many pieces), I had to go to the hospital and get an x-ray to see if there was any metal left in my finger. Turns out there is. But no worries. If you took a pen and tapped it on a piece of paper.... that's how small the piece is. The only problem is, is that it's located right underneath my fingernail and the hospital didn't want to mess with it. So they gave me some pain meds, antibiotics, and referred me to a plastic surgeon that MAY want to deal with it. I think I'll just leave it in. Mom says it'll just puss up and come out anyways. Mom is highly unimpressed with my teacher because, while the needle was still in my finger, my teacher Gigi pulled it out without waiting for paramedics/campus security to arrive. Mom thinks she could have done more damage. Luckily, she didn't. Because of protocol, they had to call campus security (because I was in sewing class at school when this happened) and they in turn called MedAct. They took me to the hospital in an ambulance. Sorry, it's not as cool as I thought it was going to be. And I called my mom. She of course, panicked. But everything's fine now. I'm fine. See ya for now. -Amelia

EDIT: Okay, so mom has me wearing a finger splint now. I think it's just a safety thing (since she's a nurse). My typing will be slower and shorter for a while. Just to let you know.
