OMG. It's like we're twins and your body said "Haleth is hurt so I must be hurt too" and now we both get to lie around watching movies and giggling from the painkillers but, and here is where life is really a bitch, we don't live next door to each other so we can't do it together. ARRRRRGGGGG.
We always have long waits at the emergency room here. The only time I didn't have to wait was the time my 2 yr old pulled a bowl of piping hot soup over onto his hand. They made us run to the exam room and started pouring cool strile fluids on it immediately. And one time my heart rate was 140 and had been like that for 5 days. They took me right away that time, too. Other than that, you languish. You look at people with gushing wounds and think "Geez, don't they have like triage or something?"
So, how are you goikng to deal with this now? For tomorrow, I think I'm going to get home from physio around 11:15, pop Velvet Goldmine into the DVD player and wallow in the wonder that is glam rock, sparkly shiny people and Curt Wild's dangly bits. I highly rec it as an excellent foot-injury therapy.
