Scraped Knees

It's so strange how your mind is able to forget how much pain some things may be to your body only until they happen again and you realize it. Today my clumsy big feet tripped upon the sidewalk curb and caused me to scrape up my knee and hands. The only time I can remember this same pain was when I was about eight years old and I took my rottweiler, Sheva, out for a walk. I even remember my bright baby blue overalls I wore on that dreadful day. To make a long story short, my dog dragged me through the street while trying to get ahold of my neighbor's bike tires. I remember standing up and tears pouring from my eyes. My knees were both covered in blood, and my hands were cut up really bad. Just today I experienced this long lost pain that I forgot all about. It's strange that the first feeling you get is almost this shockingly cold feeling, then an  immediate burning hot sensation. It caused my hands and knees to feel numb, but I could still feel the jolting pain. Now all I can do is wait for it to scab and endure the discomfort.
