I sit on the chair and realize there is a sharp pain in my foot…… I look down at my foot and realize that my foot is like 2 times its size without thinking I scream and my mom and grandma come running. They open the sliding door and ask what’s wrong I go my foot is about 2 times the size it’s supposed to be. They examine it and aren’t exactly sure what was going on. My grandma goes to the nearest CVS and asks for some help on finding some cream of some sort and they give her something that is supposed to bring infection to the top or if anything is in there it will bring it to the surface. …show more content…
