My injury

I was 7 years old at my house in New Zealand.  I was wearing a t-shirt and shorts and some jandals. I was running to my dad’s garage to tell him that lunch was ready.

All of a sudden, I tripped over and my elbow split open on a sharp rock on the concrete and it was really painful and I was screaming.  My parents heard me wailing in pain¨OUCH!!!¨ I said and they came running out and took me inside.  My dad asked¨what happened biff ?¨.

My dad got an alcohol wipe to clean the wound of any rocks.  Then he got a bowl and put some salt and water in it and I  lowered my elbow in the bowl.  It stung so much it felt like I had been shot with a gun.

My mum took me to the doctor to get it checked by an expert.  She said I need to keep a bandage on it for 1 to 2weeks.  After 2 weeks I took the bandage off, and there was an immense scar on my elbow.

In conclusion, my experience was painful and I   know not to buy Warehouse jandals.
