My Finger

So last night I met up with a friend (John Coleman) from college who is in Dubai on business. We met up with some of his coworkers and other friends for dinner. We went to this great restaurant in Souk Madinat, which is a very posh/trendy area near the Burj Al Arab.

Here.....



Right as they brought the food I went downstairs to use the restroom. I went to close the restroom door and smashed my right middle finger right in the door. It was unbearably painful but I figured after a few minutes the pain would subside. I went to wash my hands and realized that underneath my fingernail was completely red, black with some shades of purple. By the time I went back upstairs where our table was I was feeling sick to my stomach from the pain. I calmly sat down at the table and it only took two minutes before everything started closing in on me. Next thing you know I'm laying on back at the table behind us and drinking sugar syrup straight up. I felt like such a loser considering that I had just met the 7 out of 8 people that were at our dinner table. Below is a picture of my finger.....a day later. The black dot on my nail is where my mom's friend tried to poke a hole in my nail to relieve the pressure. Unfortunately after several attempts and some excruciating pain she was unsuccessful. So instead she gave me some codeine for the pain.


And that's a night out with Arezoo.

Is it wrong that I laughed at this story?

Definitely not wrong. It was pretty funny...even while it was happening.
