It is still a bit blue and really sore.  Poor baby.

I have often wondered who came up with the idea of heavy doors that swing
out into crowded hallways.  I got hit in the face when I was in high school
and ended up with a heck of a nosebleed.

Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may
kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at
evening.--Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

While G was walking to her locker at the end of the school day, someone
threw open a door and hit Gab directly under her right eye.  She said she
stood there for a few seconds, not knowing exactly what happened and then
toppled over.  One of the teachers who was just walking out of his class saw
her fall and immediately she burst into tears.
He got some help and had her science teacher escort her to the nurse.  Thank
goodness it wasn't her eye or much worse than a really sore cheek.
Really, doors that open out into a busy hallway, who thought that was a good
idea?
Now the funny side of this, she was walking with some friends who were a few
steps in front of her, they missed the accident and kept on going.  Not a
clue that Gab got hurt and oblivious to her wheare abouts.  Glad they're not
my friends. They did call her later, after she walked home and asked her,
where she went?Sheesh!
