Finding the Silver Lining
A Reddit user didn’t think a slight kick would end up with her on a hospital bed, but unfortunately, it did. On Christmas Eve, the person kicked their toe on a tricycle under the tree, thinking nothing much of the action.
Sadly, she woke up in pain and ended up having cellulitis and landing in the hospital, since she kicked her toe so hard it split. The user had to be admitted on Christmas Day and only went home after New Year’s. However, they found the silver lining in the situation. The person said, “It was the year all our awful relatives were visiting, so no great loss here.”
