What a bonkers day yesterday was.
My friend was having Emily for me while Keith and I went for the 3D scan so we set off early to collect her from a sleep over and take her to my mates house. I rang her to say we were 10 mins off as I knew she'd been out the night before - we'd been out for tea and I'd left her and our other mate at the pub. When she answered she told me she'd fallen down the stairs and cracked her head when she got in. I laughed! She said she thought she'd get a black eye too - again I just laughed. When I got there I could see she'd bashed her cheek and I was a little more sympathetic. She said she'd had a bath and the water went red and asked me to check her head. She had a nasty gash which was still bleeding - a V shape like she'd caught a corner - which was about an inch long and quite deep. So we decided to drop her off at A&E with Emily and we'd collect them after the scan. When we set off back from the scan she rang to say she was having some X rays and she wouldnt be allowed to leave without an adult to look after her with her hitting her head. When I got there she looked much worse. Her whole head was swelling up. Keith took Emily off and they went to cricket - I stayed with her waiting for them to stitch her up. When they came to put the stitches in they found that the gash was longer than they had realised - her hair had hidden it. So what looked like it needed 3 or 4 stitches eventually took an hour to put 21 stitches in and measured 8 inches...
They then thought she had a fracture to her cheek bone and were being dead cagey about her going home. Eventually the Dr came back and said she couldnt go home and they needed to observe her for 24hrs.......
So I ran around like a blue arsed fly getting her kids sorted and some gear for her. She was discharged this morning and was much better but is going to be off work for at least a week. She was already mortified that she's fallen down the stairs pissed but then we established that the hospital staff actually thought she was either a. a victim of servious domestic violence - she's single! or b. an escort girl who's client decided to attack her!!!!!
What must me and my mate look like I hear you saying - NOT LIKE HIGH CLASS HOOKERS!!!!!!
I've done her shopping today and taken it back over. Thank goodness its the bank holiday or I'd be still running about now taking her daughter back to boarding school!!!!! That might be tomorrow.....
Me today - a very uncomfortable heavy pulling-down type of feeling an general crampy/bellyachey-ness. I've just totally over done it. At least I dont have to get up for work tomorrow. I'm going to take the dogs on a long leisurely walk with my lovely hubby before the crazyness that is SATS week starts tuesday morning and I get on the exams roller-coaster until July....
