wisp

I just got a call from a good friend this morning who ended up
in the MGH burn ward after a horrible accident last night. He called
and just told me where he was, that he was scared and little else.

I rushed over thinking he had gotten into a horrible car accident
I have never really lost a friend before or even had one seriously
hurt. It was a candle/housefire accident that wasn't his fault - he probably
kept the house from burning down, but he spilled wax all over his
front from the waist down.

The fucking night nurses/drs didn't really tell him that it
was going to be ok, that in the grand scheme of things it wasn't
that bad.... So he had a whole night of that before I saw him.

They took off the bandages and told him he doesn't need surgery
and will ultimately heal completely. Lucky Lucky Lucky

I am pretty freaked right now, so glad for my friends - all of
them - New, Old, close or far - thank you for existing I luv you!
