And then I think, "Well, isn't this just a warm winter?".

Mom: I need to call my mom. Brrrrriiiiiiinnnnnggggg!!!!!!

Grandma: Who is this?

Mom: It's your daughter.

Grandma: Who?

Mom: Your daughter, Katherine.

My tears slid down my face, reddening my eyes. I watch as the cloth I was holding to my wound caught more and more blood. We drove down winding roads and curving paths until I spotted the sign: CATHOLIC MEDICAL CENTER.
