In Stitches

So, I don’t mean to complain, but isn’t there something unfair about being 6 mos-and-still-throwing-up pregnant and having a kitchen accident that requires stitches in your thumb?  Not that the accident was not entirely my own fault.  I’ll spare you the details, but . . . yep, unquestionably, undeniably, my own clutzy fault.  Still.

I wish I could at least say that I’d paid careful attention to what the doctor did in the interests of adding realism to the descriptions of battle wounds being stitched up in my books.  But no.  Since I’m, you know, 6 mos-and-still-throwing-up pregnant I was mostly focusing on . . . well . . . anyway, I made it!  I didn’t throw up, faint, or cry!  So that was good.

Other bright sides:

• Since our insurance is through the university, I was able to go to the campus clinic and avoid the emergency room.  And everyone I saw was so, so nice.  I love living in a college town.
• Poor Bella was pretty worried about my having been hurt and having to go somewhere she couldn’t come along or see what was happening to me.  (The poor baby told Nathan, “I’m sad I lost my mommy.”) But after dropping me off she and Nathan went home to wait for me to be done.  They said healing prayers together, and Bells told Nathan, “Mommy will appreciate it.”  They’re so sweet.
• It’s my left thumb that got cut, which since I hit the space bar with my right hand anyway, is the only finger I don’t need to type.  It’s probably a sign of a warped mind that I minded the accident and stitches a good 90% less once I realized I’d still be able to write every day.
• And my stitches are scheduled to come out the same day that Twilight of Avalon does!  That  made me smile.
