What a week! Have been in hospital since Saturday, was walking or shall I say "hobbling" to Rach's for her 2st party when stubbed my toe, realised it was bleeding so sat on path and took off my sock which had a huge clot of blood on it. Rach's aunt and Kim sat with me till ambulance came, which took 40 minutes, then the paramedic had nerve to get me to hop to ambulance instead of getting stretcher out, Carl and Rach's Dad asked if he needed to take the clots of blood that had fell off foot to hospital to look at but paramedic said no but I would have thought doctors would need to take a look! In the ambulance, paramedic stuffed another bandage around my toes where there was blood dripping off the end of my foot and did the usual paperwork, once we got to hospital I was then bought into A&E ward on a stretcher, plonked onto a shitty wheelchair and then wheeled into A&E on my own, and in lots of pain. Was offered a tissue off lady cos I had make up and tears streaming down my face. Mum and Dad came about 20 minutes later, but after they came we waited for about 4/5 hours to be seen to. Went into see doctor and was lying on stretcher bed thingy, nurse started to take my dressings off and I was shaking uncontrollably, & in lots of pain. It took about 10 minutes and about 10 bags of saline (Salt & Water) to get all the dressings off but the result was not pretty. There was a gaping big hole in the side of my foot and it was all bloody and you could see inside. Was taken for X-Ray then put onto Ward 5 in a private room, think they put me in private as I had an open wound. Had two operations, one on Monday and one on Wednesday to have it cleaned and looked at, operation on Wednesday the wound was stitched up. There is about 15 stitches its so big. Had lots of visitors and lots of Malteasers, it also makes you realise who your real friends are also. Thats all I can really be bothered to write but I'm out now and it's all good, I can finally get some proper sleep!
