the first of everything

There is always a first time of everything

On December 23rd, 2011

I gave my first to stitches

Sewing?

Well...it's sewing something together

Just not on a piece of cloth

But on my finger...my left index finger

Yes
I had an operation...just a tiny one
I cut my finger
By peeling an apple
My right hand slipped
the knife slide through the smooth round surface of the apple
And cut right into my left index finger

For the next second
The half cut apple was flying in the air
My finger was red with blood in an instant
Pain, but I couldn't scream

I quietly turned the tap

Place my wounded finger under the cold water

Wrapped it with paper towel with an ice pack
And went back to my new year card writing

After 2 hours
4 sheets of paper towel changed
30 cards written
My finger was still bleeding
Hmm...better go to the doctor

Everything in the clinic happened too quick

Before I realized

My finger was anesthetized

Three stitches were sewed
And my finger stopped bleeding

It's the unexpected
that make our lives become an adventurous journey

Merry Christmas!
