walk with me, come and walk with me to the edge of all we've ever known.

"Where are my eyeballs?!
Oh, there's my right one."

This whole week has been crazy.

The Fourth of July was amazing.
But when I knelt down to take a picture
I knelt on a firework.
Thus, I have a nice burn on my knee.

It didn't hurt
so I brushed it off and it seemed fine.
Then I woke up the next day and...
it was not fine.

On Wednesday I went to the doctor.

Doctors are so much FUN.
Lauren came with me
and it was great.

The doctor made me sit on a table
and he started poking my burn.
Why thank you,
it's not like it didn't already hurt.

"Can you feel this?"
"Yep."
"Can you feel this?"
"Yep."
"Can you feel this?"
"...Kinda."

"Well it looks like a bad burn.
Just get in the shower and scrub it until it bleeds.
That way the dead skin will come off
and new skin can heal over it."

What great advice.
Since it hurts already,
without you touching it.

And then as I'm leaving...
"When was your last tetanus shot?"

I am deathly afraid of needles.
Example: Donating blood at USU.
We just won't talk about that.

So later that day I got a new tetanus shot.

Overall I'm alive.
No lockjaw for me.
(Thankfully, my tongue will be
INSIDE of my mouth for the rest of my life)

Just lots of triple antibiotic cream, iodine,
and ibuprofen.
