Idiot Moment!

[luco]

So, if you've seen pictures of my room or those of my friends that I've posted here, then you will know that I own multiple swords.

Well, today I needed to pull one down to see how it looked and reflected light for a picture I wanted to work on. So I pull it down and slide it and examine the blade. While doing this, I manage to trip and land on blade.

...

Don't panic.

It's a show sword, so not that sharp, but the wound looked bad enough 4 hours ago that my friends rushed me to the hospital and while I didn't need stitches, I was getting feverish so I needed some shots.

And now I have another scar on my face! So surprised it didn't get my eye, but the doctor said it was because of the shape of my cheekbone and that I was damn lucky. I still think everyone was over-reacting but..





...

This laptops webcam is pretty damn nice.....

Anyways, I loved the looks on the faces of the hospital staff when I told them I fell on a sword. Don't know what my mom is going to say though....

Oh, ouch!!!!!!!

You need vitamin E oil...

After it heals, put vitamin E oil on it 3 to 4 times a day, consistently...

I know for a fact that it works. I had first to third degree burns on my legs from knee to ankle due to butter grease as a kid, and my mom put Vitamin E oil for months. I have no scars, at all!

OKay, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

I don't know what to say about your luck. Either it's just plain bad, or it's so good it keeps you alive despite the universe trying to flatten you ...

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

I'll go with the latter because I'm too damn stubborn to let the universe have the last laugh.

[berserkerkei.livejournal.com]

lol good lord woman....
glad you're alive at least

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

Yeah, alive and breathing is very good!

[hii-chan.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, only you can manage that, can't you? ^^"
I really do hope though that it won't stay as a scar!!

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

Pretty much. I think people have decided, if something is going to happen it will probably happen to me ^^;

[hii-chan.livejournal.com]

Life really throws the most unexpected things at you! You went through things I never even thought could even *happen* and somehow it's one after the other. Your life at least is never boring ^^"

[onikotsu.livejournal.com]

Ow that doesn't look fun *hugs*

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

At the time I was mostly amused. Today though? It hurts.

[arlo-arleh.livejournal.com]

Holy shit you gave me a heart attack for a minute there D:

I had a friend who did a similar thing but with a racket. He was playing tennis and lost his grip on a down swing, and the racket bounced back up and scored him in the face just an inch away from his eye. He was also very lucky not to lose his sight.

I second the opinion about vitamin E cream. I scar really easy and use to have heaps of acne scars on my back, but my mum bought me this special anti-scarring vitamin E cream stuff and it really works :)

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry! I honestly didn't know how to word it nicely ^^;

But I will definately be getting some vitamin E stuff, because my poor face doesn't need anymore scars...

... ... ...

I swear somedays, you're trying to reinvent yourself as an anime character!

((hug)) Glad that it's not worse, and I hope it heals well. The others are right, though. After it's healed over, keeping the skin supple is key in avoiding scarring.

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

Well, I have had brightly coloured and weirdly cut hair before and a few interesting scars and yeah....I guess an anime character is the best description.

But it's fine, just throbbing today.

[brian-kun.livejournal.com]

Must have looked like the face when I tell people I got malaria for money.

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

*snickers* Yeah, I can see how the reactions would be similar!

[prettyarbitrary.livejournal.com]

Wow. Well, that one'll be pretty stylish, at least. I'm glad you weren't hurt more badly, and that the infection got taken care of before it could get far. That would've really been a mess.

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it. When I walked into the hospital I was still in shock and not feeling anything, after 4 hours of waiting though, I had a high fever, was swaying and my face was puffed up so yeah, I'm glad my friends dragged me.

[prettyarbitrary.livejournal.com]

You should disinfect those swords, in case it happens again. Or have somebody do it for you. :)

[ningen-demonai.livejournal.com]

H-honey, there was a sword that pierced your face, your friends have every right to freak out. Cuz I would. D:

I'm so glad you're alright though. :]

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

...

When you put it that way....okay yeah I would have freaked out too ^^;

[ningen-demonai.livejournal.com]

Yay for words that make sense! \o/ *Pets ♥*

[dragonsong12.livejournal.com]

WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAPPEN TO YOU!

That's it! I'm hiring you some body guards!

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

Well, this was really my own stupidity, but I won't say no to bodyguards >_>

[saendie.livejournal.com]

You are half a Kenshin! Seriously, you handle swords properly and be careful! You're like, the person Murphy LOVES to pick on. *hugs*

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

Well if my other scar was still visible I'd be a full Kenshin! But yes, swords are never going to be unsheathed until I'm sitting down...

[saendie.livejournal.com]

You know, when you pull a samurai sword from the sheath it's supposed to taste blood before you put it back. Maybe that thing is cursed?

[kalloway]

That will be awesome in the future, because when anybody asks about the scar, you can say it's an old sword wound... Reactions will be priceless.

*trying to look at the bright side*

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's pretty much my outlook on it ^__^ It'll make an interesting story.

[swyrel.livejournal.com]

Geeze, girl. I swear you get injured more than anyone I know. I'm glad you have friends up there to take care of you though. Just make sure you clean it well and keep it from getting infected!

[luco-millian.livejournal.com]

The hospital gave me a free bottle of polysporin which was nice of them so I am keeping it clean!

[kitten0face.livejournal.com]

Yipes! What sacrifices are made for art! I'm glad you're alright! You have the devils luck my lady! Heal quickly!

[mailechan.livejournal.com]

Oh man. You know, I really worry when you're not near me because I can't help when I'm all the way over here. Thank goodness you have wonderful flatmates.

*huggles* You need to cosplay as Esmerelda the space pirate.

[geoffimusprime.livejournal.com]

Rubbing Alcohol. Always helps with my cuts.

[geoffimusprime.livejournal.com]

In all seriousness, I am glad you're ok.

[lissibith.livejournal.com]

*hugs* You... you know you have like the worst luck, don't you? You need a four-leaf clover - or a dozen of them - and a horseshoe and some lucky pennies minted in 1977 and and and.... (and some pretty boys to wait on you while you heal?)

[animatrocor.livejournal.com]

GAHD WOMAN STOP HURTING YOURSELF lol jk
shytluck and you kinda remind me of tank girl now!!

also I agree in the Vitamin E cream...also glad you got shots so you don't get even WORSE luck

[talitian.livejournal.com]

O.o you fell on a sword. well glad it was only your cheek but your not suppose to look like kenshin. but make sure your still or sitting when looking at swords

[ahja-reyn.livejournal.com]

A scary as the whole incident is....the idea that you fell on a sword is a little amusing XD I'm glad to hear you're okay XDD
