San Diego and Weird Medical Stories :/

Hey everyone, we just left L.A. and now we're in San Diego. But first, the craziest thing that happened to me in L.A. was while we were in Disneyland. I pretty much went blind, I kid you not. It was insane. My eyes burned and I was super photophobic (caused pain by the light) and I had to wear my sunnies and my hoodie all the time because it was so painful. I had my eyes closed for a couple of hours, so my mum had to lead me around everywhere. Fortunately, there was this ride that was underground and purposely dark; but it was still too bright ): It was crazy. The funny part was later, a couple of hours after, when I opened my eyes for the first time and everyone was looking at me. Can you imagine seeing someone walking past with a hoodie on in the hot sun, wearing sunnies, looking down, being towed by someone and stumbling all over the place? So, naturally, I got a lot of weird looks. My mum told me that when I had my eyes closed, there were A LOT of people looking at me. It was funny as.

Also, last night, we found out that I had a stone growing in my arm. I know it sounds crazy, but it actually happened. It's called calcification, and it's when there is a foreign object in the body (in my case, under the skin), and the body's only defense is to cover it in calcium until it's an actual stone. It was about 3mm across and my arm had blood smeared over it from the cut we made :/ Pretty gruesome, I know, but I just thought that was a cool story (:

Anyway, back to San Diego.

The bus ride was a long one, but I slept for most of it. When we got here, it was pretty chill; we just slept and relaxed (I was meant to do some homework, but I didn't). But the next day, which was today,we went to the San Diego Zoo! It was great, and we saw so many crazy animals. We saw kangaroos, wombats and koalas too, which was kinda funny. Unfortunately, it was really hot, so I had to keep putting on sunscreen :/ But apart from that, it was super fun. And tomorrow, we're going to Seaworld! Yay! But that's enough for now, so I'll chat to you guys later. Bye (:
