Mr. Ballin

So she put her helmet back on, got on her moped, and went on about her business.

About a week later, Angela was back home in Glasgow, Scotland, and she was inside of her doctor's office about to be examined.

Following that moped accident, Angela had stayed in Vietnam for a few more days, and the whole time, she had checked that bump on her head every single day, and it had gone away pretty quickly.

However, when she landed back home in Scotland, almost right away, she began developing this kind of startling new symptom that she couldn't help but feel must be connected to the moped accident, and it made her really scared, and so she had gone to the doctor.

Her new symptom were these sudden kind of extreme nosebleeds.

And so she had made an appointment to go see her doctor to figure out what the heck was going on.

And so finally, Angela's doctor came into the room and he would examine her and he would look at her nose and her head and he would listen to her story about the moped.

But after he was done with the exam, he would tell Angela that he did not think her nosebleeds had anything to do with the moped accident.

Much more realistically, the nosebleeds were from her body adjusting to the weather in Scotland.

Vietnam, it was a very hot environment and Scotland was very cold.

And so that shift was likely causing these nosebleeds.

And so the doctor recommended that Angela put some Vaseline inside of her nostrils to keep it moist and just wait for this to clear up as her body transitioned back to Scotland.

A few days later, Angela was back home inside of her bathroom, looking into a mirror.

She was applying some Vaseline to her nostrils.

Now, she had been doing this every day, multiple times a day since the doctor had made that recommendation, but despite following the doctor's orders, her nosebleeds had persisted.

If anything, they were getting worse.

I mean, she was having these things multiple times a day.

But for now, Angela simply turned on her shower and waited for the water to warm up, and then she hopped inside.

And after a few minutes of just kind of standing under the water, Angela began just kind of touching her nose, something she was doing a lot of, you know, since these nosebleeds had begun.

Except as she touched her nose, she began to feel something weird sort of deep inside of her nostril that she maybe hadn't noticed before.
