Who says I don't know how to have fun *roll eyes*
Actually I do, just my version of fun - which usually involves either books, knitting, and occasional trips to the pub, or sometimes a combination of all 3 - isn't everyone's idea of fun... but hey I'm old!
Tonight was not living the high (ok, well just above ground level) life... tonight was playing taxi service and responsible adult ... my sister has scuppered her shoulder, the right one, somehow, she doesn't remember falling, hitting anything with it, landing on it, having her incredibly overweight cat sit on it etc... my sister is the sensible one, she doesn't fall over things, down things, injure herself or blow stuff up .... but today it was so painful that she couldn't drive and actually was sick.... cue tearful phone call at 6pm - can I take her to the Hospital's minor injuries unit... sure no problem... so off we go
But no, they won't see her there, because she can't remember actually doing anything to it to case the injury... so off we go to the A&E department at the main hospital (right on the other side of town) .... nearly 2 hours later, they prod her shoulder and tell her it's probably arthritis (which she doesn't have) and to go home and take pain killers which she can get from the chemist, but just take double the dose.....
She was the one that hurried me out of the hospital at that point before I opened my mouth as she could see that I was highly unimpressed with that advice.....
I've taken her home and handed her over to her other half who had just arrived back from work... hopefully she will be okay... by the time I got home there was just enough time to walk the dogs round the block (in the pouring rain again!) before bed time....... so that's the first part of my weekend gone!
