Life Without Toast - Sibling Rivalry

I called over to see a friend of mine yesterday who had an operation to remove ALL of her wisdom teeth last week, as the dentist dude put it, her mouth was just way too small for them. When she opened the door I nearly died, her face was green, like Kermit the Frog green. Is this normal I asked her...well she said, the dental nurse said she has never seen anyone with bruising this bad after a week of healing. She thinks the dentist butchered her, even though she went to some "special" private clinic funded by Bupa or Quinn Health or whatever they are called now, she was saying that while she was having her operation, the same dental surgeon operated on SEVEN other people, sounds like a conveyor belt to me!!

It came to us to question why would someone voluntarily go under the knife for unnecessary surgery, why would someone actually wish this pain upon themselves for no real reason? Then we got to talking (yes she was sort of mumbly and kept saying "ow" but we were talking nonetheless) about a good friend of hers who was in a car accident last Christmas:

She was in the passenger seat of her boyfriends Toyota Landcruiser, asleep, while he was driving, she had the seat pushed all the way back and her feet on the dash board, the vehicle hit black ice and skidded off the road and rolled, a few times, her knee was shot into her face and she has no brow anymore, the bone above one of her eyes is missing, she has no forehead. She was in the ICU for a long time, where she got MRSA (of course) and they had to remove what was left of the bone on her forehead which is to be replaced at some as of yet unconfirmed time, her eye is no longer eye shaped it is circular and will be forever, when her false forehead is put in she will have grafts to make her look as normal as possible, she had to have her face wired back together and after she woke up only consume liquid food for over 6 months.

Myself and my friend were complaining about not being able to eat solids (I was sick with a vomitting bug on Monday and Tuesday and she with the no wisdom teeth) and then we thought about her friend for 6 months on tasteless yock food and I felt so guilty, because today I am better and yes I look pale from lack of food and fresh air, and my friend will be better and no longer have a green face next week, but her friend, the girl who was in the accident, will never be the way she was before. Her boyfriend walked away with a broken nose....DON'T let people sit funny in your car, even having your legs crossed can cause awful things in the event of a head on collision.
