Long story short...... I was supposed to be seeing girlfriend last night.... had dinner and a movie all planned... then walked into an open window which resulted in lots of blood and gore everywhere! I soon realised that ignoring the gaping wound in my head was a little foolhardy so rang girlfriend to cancel proceedings so I could pop myself off to casualty and get sewn up.
Girlfriend wouldn't take no for an answer when I turned down her offer of a lift to the hospital....... so I sat around leaking blood for 15 minutes until she arrived to do her Florence Nightingale bit!
I am used to taking care of myself so was more than happy to drive myself one handed the 15 miles to the casualty department, but actually felt strangely warm and fuzzy being looked after for a change.
Needless to say if you spend 2 hours in a hospital waiting room which was full of manky people with a variety of ailments and the mandatory drunken twat causing chaos then get some club handed foreign nurse glueing your hair to your head with superglue, it can take the shine off your romantic evening.....
I got Girlfriend to drop me home so I could chill out a bit, grab a shower (though I can't get my head wet for 5 days!), a bit to eat and a cold beer or two!
As my headache started to subside I drifted off to sleep..... liking the whole being looked after thing...... as a sign of commitment I am going to buy her a box of teabags!
