The Time I Got Stitches

The worst thing that’s happened to me in my life was the time I had to get stitches. It was the summer of 2012. The weather was warm, but the wind was blazing. My cousin and I, who happened to live next door to each other in our old apartments were playing volleyball in the middle of the street, while our family were in the house hanging out. The ball we used was not hard so it could move with the wind. There were another set of apartments which everyone called the chinese apartments because there were a whole bunch of chinese people living there. The apartments were separated by a long fence. We lived in the back so the fence that separated us from the other appartments was right by us. We were told to be careful so …show more content…
When I got to it there ended up being another fence before i could get to get to where the ball was. As I climbed the fence my pant leg got stuck on the fence. I caught myself before I fell and got my pant leg out. I didn’t know the fence was bob wired, so as I went to jump off the fence my hand got stuck, but I couldn’t stop before I dropped, and I cut through my hand.

The doctor finally came, and told me how they would have to put the numbing medicine in it with a needle before they could do the stitches. At the time I wasn’t scared because I like getting shots and I already got over the fact that I had to get stitches, so it wasn’t a big deal. The doctor said how it would hurt for the first stitch, and said how I would have a good doctor doing it though, so I didn’t have to worry. They did the numbing and it only like burned a little but I was good after that. The doctor who was doing the stitches finally came in to get to work. As he was doing it he messed up on the first stitch like 5 times and since that was the one that hurt the most I was in pain. At the same time I was mad because they said he was good and it would be over before I knew it, and it wasn’t. He finished up the stitches while talking to me to take my mind off of it. After they cleaned around it they told me it was good for me leave. While we were leaving my hand kinda hurt but it wasn’t hurting where I couldn’t handle it. My mom was mad but really worried at the
