Day 49 - a Helluva Day!

Well, there I was, this morning, about to wrap myself in chains for Our Daily Challenge, Flickr group when LB phoned from his mothers house to say she'd fallen & could I go down there. Although she lives further down the same street I drove, for quickness. She was on the floor in the kitchen  unable to move due to severe pain in the right shoulder and right groin. As the ambulance was delayed I left her with LB and took one car back home and returned on foot. This is the paramedics car , outside her house, which had arrived by the time I got back.  It took a while to control the pain sufficiently to get her into the ambulance & then we went off to A&E. I must say she was well looked after but it all took a time.  It turns out she has a fracture dislocation of her shoulder and fractured pubic bone.  We spent all day in A&E with her, saw her settled into her ward and got home about 8.30pm.  It's surprising how tiring hanging around in hospital is,  anyway current thinking is to let things heal naturally with rest but to review her shoulder next week with the possibility of surgery to come.  So I would think she'll be there for a couple of weeks. Time will tell but at least she's comfortable now.  Perhaps I'll wrap myself in chains tomorrow, it sounded fun!
