A couple of days ago, I was at work and alone in the dish room. All of the sudden, my hand was crushed in between a huge machine and the lever. I heard the lever go "snap" and I was like holy shit my hand is stuck. I looked down and all I could see was the tip of my middle finger and I lost feeling in my left hand. I tried to pull my hand free, but it caused it to swell more and made it even harder to get it free. After 5 minutes, (which seemed like forever) I saw the tip of my middle finger and it was blue. I freaked out and start screaming for someone to please help me. Nobody came. So, I took my good right hand and lifted this 50 pound machine onto a moving cart. Then, I wheeled myself out of the dishroom and into the kitchen and then into the hallway. I was screaming for someone to help me, but of course no one was around. I was going to pass out and I was crying so hard because it hurt so bad. I was out there for like 5 minutes and this guy saw me and ran over to help me. Then, 3 more people came and were trying to pull my hand free, but they managed to wedge it deeper. The guy who first saw me, I later found out that his name was Mike, got a screwdriver and pryed the lever backwards. Eventually, my hand was free, but it was so fucked up looking. Mike put my hand in a splint and everyone thought I had shattered my hand. He drove me to the emergency room . We were sitting together in the lobby and he was extremely sweet and comforting.
As we were saying goodbye, Mike asked me for my phone number and that's how things started. So, I wasn't looking for a relationship, but somehow I mangaged to get into other one. Mike is such an amazing guy that I couldn't say no when he asked me to be his girlfriend. I find myself extremely confused and everything happened so quickly between us. I just need to time to sit back and breath. I told Mike my situation and we decided to take things slow.
This weekend was awesome. I haven't had so much fun in such along time. It felt so wonderful to smile and laugh again. I have just been so unhappy for so long and things are finally starting to get better. I kinda had a financial crisis at the beginning of this year, but my luck has changed and I received a huge check and food assistants. I was starving for almost 4 weeks and I lost over 15 pounds in one month, which was very unhealthy. But I hate to admit that I needed help. My roommate told me to go the human health service and get FA. For the first time, my refridagator is full with food. I get 155 dollars a month to spend on any kind of food that I want. Yeah.
By the way, my hand is doing much better. :)
