While most teens my age were going to school dances, kicking it with their boyfriends or killing it on the sports field. I on the other hand was in a hospital bed trying to feel somewhat normal.

home, my chin was irritating me a lot. I took the bandage off and around my injury, it was all bright pink. I thought “ Ehh, it’s okay, it will go away.” The rash did indeed go away but that was not until the day after. We then visited the doctor and the doctor told us that I should have gotten stitches. But, it was too late for that. I was relieved because I did not want to get stitches. People also kept on bugging me with my chin. I had to tell the story countless times and eventually gave up…
