Why I Spent My Birthday in the ER

I don;t believe in coincidences. I am a firm believer in that everything happens for a reason. Two years ago, I heard about Nip/Tuck on the radio. It was a commercial. It stuck in my head and I decided to watch it. i became hooked. Every week, I would try to put the kids to bed...so that I could watch Nip/Tuck in peace.

June 13th was my birthday. It is also my niece's birthday! My father had given me money for my birthday and I decided to buy a wrought iron gazebo I had been admiring fro some time. The plan was I was going to put it togehter and then drive to the city. That was the plan, but it didn't work out that way. While I was putting it togehter, it fell lacerating The Princess' face. I still have a hard time because it is an ugly picture that keeps repeating over and over in my mind. All I keep thinking is it could have killed or The Little One. It just missed her eye.

My first instant was to grab her and pray fervently. I was at home alone with my oldest. I told her to get the phone and called 911. The worst part was that the chairs were not in the mini-van. I had removed them to put the patio set and gazebo (unassembled) in the car. The paramedics had to help me put them in.

I followed the ambulance to the ER. I cried all the way. I called my tow closest friends. I'm glad that I followed my friend's advice. She told me not to let anyone touch her face. She told me to state that I wanted her to be seen by a plastic surgeon. When I arrived at the ER, she was seen immediately. I was adamant about seeing a surgeon and I was successful. Although he wasn't in the network, he accepted her as his patient. I was heartbroekn that her face had been scarred for life.

If I hadn't been watching Nip/Tuck regularly, I probably wouldn't have been able to handle what came next. I had to hold my daughter while he performed the cosmetic surgery. I kept thinking she would never model again. How would this heal? I couldn't see it happening. He was gentle, but quick. Can I tell you, it healed beautifully. It has made a believer out of me. She has a small, but you would never guess that it was lacerated. It looks like a scratch.

People can say whatever they want. I know plastic surgery really does work and I thank God that it is as advanced as it is. Had it not been, who knows how the Princess would have been treated?
