Use Them for First Aid

Well it's been a while since you have had the chance to hear from me. I sold the extra David Archuleta ticket for $40. I was way excited! I had an interesting weekend. Friday night we had our ward talent show where our friend, Ben, performed his roommates version of The Little Nerd-man. It was great, but the real story started when we headed for the car. I called shot gun like I always do, and then I saw a cool puddle that was icy, so I ice skated for a bit. Jayme decided to take advantage of the moment and jumped in the front seat. I ran and grab at the door. Of course I missed it, but a split second later my other roommate shut her door behind the passenger seat. Yes, that meant my finger was caught in the door. I freaked out and screamed at the of my lungs. I then realized the door my finger was stuck in is broken and you can't open it from the inside, so I had to calm myself down enough to realize that, and then open the door and release my finger myself. When I took it out, I saw that the skin was squished down to the bone and part of it had turned dark purple. It hurt SO bad! when we got home I put ice on it and elevated it. It was really swollen. Our friend Alex, who is a Health Science major, came and looked at it for me. Between him and Larissa we concluded it wasn't broken. The next morning it didn't hurt as much, but we got a brace and tape so that I could keep it still.

Jayme, Larissa, and I went to Jayme's brothers football game and it was snowing during it. It was freezing! After that Larissa and I went up to Island Park, and hung out for dinner at her family's cabin. We sat in the hot tub for a while. After that we came back home. My finger started to feel numb in some parts. It is a very weird feeling. Again Alex was my hero. He said it was probably a damaged nerve, so Monday Larissa took me to the doctor and they took some x-rays. nothing was broken, but they said to just keep moving it and take anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce the swelling. It is helping, but it's still numb. The doctor said it should fix itself.

Monday night the Leonid Meteor shower came through. I convinced Chelsea, Chrissy, Jayme, Larissa, Alex, Nick, and Luke (both are FHE bros) to come with us and watch. We headed out at 10 pm and found a field that we could lay in. It was freezing! We had many blankets, and all got very close to each other that night. We all sat and talked and saw the meteor shower. At one point I saw this bright streak, I looked closer and it was a meteor. it was moving pretty slow, and the tail was really long and bright. At one point the meteor broke into 3-4 pieces! It was way cool!! The flash was really bright to us, and we had a hard time getting everyone in the picture.
That's pretty much all that has happened that has been exciting for us. Hope all of you have a good Thanksgiving, in case I don't write again before that.
