We've been busy off seeing family, a trip to Stratford theatre on Tuesday night to see the BFG (which was amazing), then yesterday we were having a fairly lazy day before going off to see friends.
My wife went for a run and tripped and fell, the first we heard was from some people who saw it happen, who luckily brought her home. She was covered in blood and straight away I could see she had cut her head pretty deep.
So we left the children and I took her to the local injuries, they took one look and told us to go to A&E. We didn't have to wait too long when we got there, about an hour after being seen initially for a quick assessment. They said she'd need stitches and she ended up having nine above her eyebrow.
We told our friend, who's house were going to for new years, as we were in hosptial, and she went to collect them. The girls had been baking all afternoon for the party and were ready to go.
When my wife and I got home from the hospital we were a bit wiped out. But I came back tot he log basket full of logs, the fire lit and burning away nicely, chickens shut in, workshops all locked up. I was very proud of how our children dealt with it all.
My wife stayed in for new years, I managed to drag myself out for a few hours, it was lovely being with friends, but also I couldn't help but worry about my wife (especially as it's her head she hit).
This morning she is obviously a little tender, still shook up and still tired as her body tries to heal.
Only up from her on in!
Happy New Year!
I hope your wife heals quickly and is feeling better, no surprise with your children, you both have raised them so well.
ReplyDeleteKev - So glad that it went as well as it did (all things considered). Here is hoping your wife heals quickly.

Hope she heals quickly. You and your wife have done a wonderful job of raising your children. The world could do with more parents like you.
