MISTAKE

I sent this email to my family. I shouldn't have been dramatic. I soon realized it was a mistake when panic set in back in Texas.

I received multiple emails back. Here are a couple from my mom.

I don't know why I thought sending a dramatic email to my family about an injury while traveling through Southeast Asia alone was a good idea. MISTAKE. I sent apology emails for being dramatic, and my foot is fine. 

In my defense, I probably should have gotten off the bus and gone to the hospital. The cut was on the ball of my foot and about the size of a penny with swelling and bruising in addition to lots of blood. It really hurt to walk for a while, but I finished my trip with no problem.
