14-10-2009 - The freak out!

My mood while writing this blog: Fine & Dandy

So here’s what happened this morning:

I jumped out of the shower and was drying myself when I saw a big smear of blood on the towel………instantly my heart started beating and sweat appeared on my upper lip; I could feel blood rushing to my face and I was instantly in freak out mode! An image of rushing to the hospital came to mind. I gingerly wiped between my legs with the towel, and there was no blood. I sat down on the edge of the bath and put my finger ‘up there’ and I was already horrified just imagining at what I would see, but when I looked at my finger there was nothing but white mucus on it. I put my finger deeper and still nothing. PHEW! But where was the blood coming from??? I stood up and stated towling and checking myself again but I couldn’t for the life of me find where the blood was coming from. I looked over to the bath and I could see a big blood smear where I had sat down on the edge…….my bum? So I checked that but no. FINALLY, I found blood on the back of my leg, just below my bum. I think I’d had a pimple or something there and I’d scratched the top off. I was so releaved but I couldn’t believe how much blood had come from such a small thing that I couldn’t even feel!

Oh my gosh, you would not believe how relieved I was. When I took stock I realised tears had been dripping down my face before I realised the blood wasn’t coming from ‘there’.
