ambulance rides and iphones

well ive never claimed to be graceful and on thursday i fell down a step and kinda bounced a bit, loosing a shoe in the process and it ended up with me in a heap on the concrete unable to get up.

some lovely people stopped to help and i called a friend and an ambulance and so started 2012.

im sure i was a lovely sight having to crawl up the steps i fell down on my hands and knees...much better than trying to hop up them though.

we got settled in the waiting room of A&E, i was in a wheel chair and my friend and i were disparing at the sign saying a 2 hour wait and the guy with a black eye next to us had already been sitting there 3 hours. 

got called in to see the triage nurse and it turns out i sold him his iphone.  that was a lucky break (excuse the pun) and im pretty sure what followed is only due to that.

painkillers and being pulled round to xray.  waited 2 minutes (not the hour like everyone else) and my xrays were taken, examined and with some painful hobbling i was on my way home. 

in total i was in the hospital about an hour and 20 minutes.  the lovely pain killers kicked in nicely and i was all bandaged up and leaving at least 2 hours earlier than i ever thought i would be.

i totally owe my friend though, she spent that time pulling my wheel chair from one part of the hospital to another.

so now im at home and bored, foot up watching everything on my sky plus.  going to try and head back into work tomorrow, need a break from the tv.
