Day 3: The Doctor

The next morning, before we continued the journey I went to see the doctor. The swelling had decreased greatly from the previous arrow incident, but it was still necesary to seek proper medical attention concerning my wound. Upon arrival to where the Doctor had set up camp, I informed him about my unfortunate accident with the arrow. After he chuckled about my incident, he told me arrow accidents were very common among new squires. When he began to examine my wound, I had noticed an odd behavior the doctor had been performing. He continued to glance upwards for the entire examination, almost as if my wound had been floating in the clouds, rather than located on my leg. As the Doctor gazed up into the sky, he diagnosed me with squarrow infection. He informed me that squarrow infection was a common infection among squires who had arrow wounds. The doctor also told me that if the infection worsens, I will never be able to use my right leg again. He lathered green ointment onto the wound amd gave me a pair of sticks to use as crutches. To my surprise, he told me to give up the squire-hood. At the conclusion of the examination Sir Knightlyhood passed him a handful of coins. As I "crutched" away from him, I realized that becoming a Knight was way to important to me to give up on my ultimate goal. If young Squires often had arrow wounds, then someone must have been through a situation like mine before.
As our traveling for the day continued I met up with the Merchant. He told me how he was stabbed in the leg when he started his career. He did not let the stab wound hold him back. He told me to ride by him tomorrow and he would aide me in my recovery.

Advice for the day: Seek help when needed.
