Chapter 19: An Accident, Part 2

Picture
Nerves: On alert. At Urgent Care, and no idea what to expect.

Common Sense: Calm down. We'll probably get stitches, and that will help us heal. 

Skull: Awww. I was enjoying my new view.

Hair: I feel so yucky. I hope they do something about that.

Memory: Wait. Cleaning out a cut feels bad... very, very bad.

Brain: Yeah, and I have a feeling stitches will feel worse. 

Nerves: Aaaaaaaa! Not helping, not helping!

Common Sense: Settle down, it would feel worse to let it stay open and get infected.

Brain: Ears, what did the doctor just say? I don't think I heard correctly.

Ears: Staples. She said, "staples."

Head: WHAT????

Blood: Oh goodie! Sounds like another opportunity for escape!

Optimism: Maybe it won't hurt that bad. Right?

Memory: I've got nothing here. 

Brain: Shhh. She's talking again. Ears?

Ears: Wow. You're not going to like this. 

Head: I haven't liked anything yet.

Brain: What is it? 

Ears: The good news is that the staples shouldn't hurt.

Sense of Humor: Ha, ha! Wait. That's not funny.

Ears: The bad news is that we have to get Lydicain first.

Head: Nooooooo! What's Lydicain?

Memory: No idea. Never had it. But let's be glad she didn't say "novacain." I had that 26 years ago when the toenail was ripped off. That was a shot, and it hurt.

Toe: Ooooo, yeah, I do remember that. Not good. Very painful.

Head: Well, you have more fat in you to absorb that shot. Let's hope that's not what I'm getting. 

Toe: Hey! Who are you calling fat?

Head: Sorry. I'm just scared.

Sense of Humor: Soon to be scarred. Ha!

Head: Go away, Humor. You are not needed here.

Eyes: Bad news again, guys. That's definitely a needle in her hand.

Head: Oh good heavens.

Arm: You baby. I get these all the time. It's really nothing. 

Head: Again, fat! You have fat!

Arm: It's muscle, you know. 

Head: Whatever. I don't have that either.

Back: What are you all complaining about? That needle is tiny. Did you all see the one I got before we gave birth... THREE TIMES!

Memory: Aww, that was worth it. 

Back: I sometimes wonder...

Optimism: See, that wasn't so bad.

Head: Owww! What? Are you kidding me? Why don't YOU get a shot sometime and... hey, OWWW!

Ears: Yeah, you weren't listening. She said something about more shots. She's going to keep giving them until you feel nothing.

Head: Keep giving them??? How many was that?

Brain: Sorry. Lost count after 5.

Head: That's it. I'm outta here.

Ears: Oh wait, no. She just said to hold still so she doesn't mess up.

Head: Wellll. That's okay nowwww, I guesssss. I'm, uh... I'm feeling... kinda...

Memory: Groovy?

Head: Yeahhhh.... something like that.

Common Sense: Good. Must be working now. Mouth tell her we're numb.

Head: Yeah, baby. Comfortably numb.

Memory: You know, we were pretty young in the 70's.

Head: Whatever.

Brain: Bring on the staples. Gotta close us all back in together like the big happy family we are.

Head: Staples? What are staples?

Common Sense: Something tells me you'll know in a few hours.
