In my 38 years of life, I’ve never had stitches. On Tuesday, that all changed.
Usually, the counselor takes out the garbage, but it was one of those days when the garbage couldn’t wait. I lifted the garbage bag out of the can and carried it to the front patio, where I sat it down. I helped Reef get his big wheel out of the garage, threw the ball to the dog a couple of times and then resumed carrying the garbage to the black dumpster when something rubbed against my leg. It felt like a scratch and I kept walking when sheering pain shot through my calf. I looked down, surprised to see the inside of my leg (and an enormous amount of blood) staring back at me. I immediately dropped to the ground and held together the cut, trying my best to stop the bleeding.
Payson was thrilled when I yelled “Call 911!” Finally, his big chance!
Within minutes I had a yard full of family, curious neighbors and a fleet of firemen all wanting to help. A very nice fireman was able to wrap my leg so I could stand up without bleeding to death. My mom offered to drive me to Urgent Care. Before I left, I asked my kids to say a prayer for me. On the car ride to Urgent Care, I broke down crying, not because of my leg but because I missed my kids so much.
Within a few minutes, I was seen by a doctor who cleaned out my wound and made sure I hadn’t ruptured any major arteries or cut through anything dangerous. She gave me about a dozen numbing shots before starting on the stitches. Then, I received a tetanus shot.
All because of garbage.
You notice this blog is not called My Dear Garbage, thank goodness. I’d be in serious trouble because 11 stitches later, I hate garbage.
But, I love trash.

Remember my friends, garbage is bad, it is very, very bad, but trash is good, great, even dear.
So, what cut me?
I guess someone had thrown away a broken glass cup. It sliced through my leg like butter.
Boo, garbage!
The profits I've made on eBay will help pay for my Doctor's bill.
Hooray, trash!
