A shock to the system....

I almost ended up in a french emergency room tonight . I was lying on the couch, using the exercise rubber band like thing when the handle sprung off my extended foot and smacked me in the eye really hard in the eye. Everything went white for a minute. My hand immeadeatly flew up to my face and I froze in fear for a minute. When I slowly took my hand away, it was covered in blood.
I ran to the sink and got a paper towel. Blood was dripping everywhere. I ran down to my proprietors house for help as I was afraid to look. 

Monsieur L. stepped into the father role and took me into the light to look at it. He gently pushed by bloodied hair away. He stood there holding my bloodied paper towel, I kept trying to take it back from him, but he insisted on holding it. I think he was a little upset. He opened the trunk of his car rummaging around for who knows what with the bloodied napkin in the other hand. He is so sweet.

Madame L. came running from the garden and cleaned it up for me. .no need for stitches. The cut measures about 1/4 of an inch. It is  below my eyebrow. And my nose is a little cut...and it hurts...that whole side of my face hurts. It hurts to blink....how do these things happen to me.....whacked by the hard plastic handle at full speed. 

As I went back up to my house she assured me that I'm going to have a big black eye...great!
I'm lucky to have some place to run to for help.
