I was riding my bike down to the house that I was dogsitting for, after I turned on to one of the streets in our neighborhood, I sneezed and hit a parked car. I then proceeded to stand up dazed, and I wasn't quite sure what happened. Until I spat out blood. I started to walk back home immediately, with my hand up to my mouth to try and stop the bleeding. Luckily, someone drove by and I managed to wave them down with a completely red hand. To be honest, although the wound was extremely bad, most of the blood was just because it was a head wound right after I was doing something really active.

When I got home, my mom took me to see someone in the neighborhood who's a nurse, who said it didn't look that bad, but I should be taken to the doctor to be sure.

The doctor said that it didn't look too bad, but that I should see someone else (who does surgeries) to be sure.

The surgeon said that the cut went straight through my lip. And I ended up getting 16 stitches; 8 on the inside and 8 on the outside.

The only thing that hurt about getting the stitches was actually the painkiller stuff.

I was riding my bike down the hill in my neighborhood, the wind was in my hair and I felt great, I turned into the street at full speed, and I would have made it to house of the dog that I was pet sitting for too. If it hadn't been for that one sneeze.

I opened my eyes after the sneeze, and saw an SUV right in front of me.

I was on the ground, unsure of what happened, until I coughed out blood.

I started walking towards my house with my hand over my mouth; looking back at it, I'm not sure that I even knew why.

(And here is where it departs from the actual events of the day)

I was halfway up the hill to my house, and I was starting to feel light headed, I must've lost a lot of blood by now, but I had to keep on walking.

I managed to open the door to my house and call out for someone right before I fainted; when I woke up later, I had stitches in my mouth, and my lip felt like it was the size of an elephant.

And that's basically what happened to me.
