Dear Mom,
I am having a really good time at camp, but there was one incident yesterday that was pretty frightening. I don’t want you to worry because I’m okay now, but we were hiking over some rocks when I slipped and cut my leg pretty badly. There was a LOT of blood (I thought Cowabelle was going to faint!) I tried my hardest not to cry but it really hurt and there was so much blood I was scared!
One of our counselors, Kimmy, was leading the hike and she came over and took charge and knew exactly what to do. She was so calm it made me start to feel better right away. But then she made me do the weirdest thing – she told me to lie down and hold my leg up in the air! Apparently, if you cut your arm or leg, holding it up in the air makes it bleed less. Isn’t that funny?
Kimmy was carrying a first aid kit in her backpack, so she took out a clean cloth and told Roberta to press it on my cut until the bleeding stopped. With so much blood, I was sure I was going to need stitches, but when it stopped bleeding Kimmy looked at it she said that I didn’t need to go to the hospital and she could bandage it.
First though she cleaned it. There were some bits of leaves and dirt on the cut so she lifted those off really gently with a pair of tweezers. Then she washed it with a clean cloth and some bottled water and a bit of soap. She dried it carefully and put some ointment on – she said that would prevent it getting infected – and then she covered it with a bit of gauze and a bandage.
It felt so much better once she was done, but I think the best part was that Kimmy was so calm and gentle with me. Cowabelle was kind of freaking out which really didn’t help, but Kimmy managed to get everyone to just relax and not freak.
So please don’t worry about me – I am going to be fine! I just wanted to let you know what happened.
I love you!
Dacey
Yikes, that must have been scary! I’m glad you’re alright now, Dacey! -Dawndrop*
Who knew. Superstar Dacey Bryn going 2 camp??? WOW! Oh and*~**Coolgirl27965*~**, Dacey IS a Silversoft Cat. That’s why she looks like one!
Oh that must of hurt. Good thing Kimmy was there. Also when you’re hiking try to watch the ground at the same time. If anyone wants clothing recipes for the clothing machine then ask me.

I missed hearing about her. :)

Aww, poor Dacey. Get better soon. Here are some flowers -*Gives Flowers*-
That was great you were trying to be brave and not cry, I got a bad cut on my knee once but I don’t think it bled, I can’t remember. All I can remember that it was on a brick and it looked terrible after a while.
I love her boots and her hair clip.
Love,

P.S, Luckily I don’t have 50 pets.

First aid is important, but you need to know what you’re doing

I hope that Dacey’s cut gets better and heals! :) Its good to know first aid if your going hiking.

Wow, why would have know that Movie Star Dacey Bryn would go to camp. Anyway, I have done that but with my hand.
Dawnstar/Newstar, your right. If you don’t know what your doing, you could make it worse. -Moonstar§

Poor Dacey. :( I would have been pretty scared too. It’s a good thing Kimmy was so calm and fixed it up right away.
I agree, first aid is very important. I know this from experience. ;)
