I remember the white bunk bed and the smell of tomato and mozzarella
I remember reaching over the bunk bed
I remember falling at my own risk and cracking my head
I remember friend yelling and my mom screaming and crying for help
I remember us calling an ambulance and it taking too long
I remember dropping my friend and brother at the neborgiors apartment and calling a fast cab
I remember the blood on my shirt and my moms shirt
I remember my mom forgetting her wallet and the cab driver giving us a free ride
I remember the ER bringing me right in and being on a rolling bed, people running at my side, feeling like the Queen of the world
I remember the friends mom rushing in
I remember the staple tool and feeling nothing when the staple went in my head
I remember going into the head x ray room thing and the xray of my head
I remember laying in my bed hearing sounds of pain
I remember going home after a few hours to crying of joy and watching tv
I remember eating too cold strawberry ice cream and getting a painful freeze burn
I remember telling everybody at school what happened, being popular for a day and everybody wanting to see the staple
I remember me being only four

Dear Giulia,
This is a frightening memory that also sounds like a few happy ones woven. So vivid!!! Thank you for sharing.
