Things happen. On November 22 G took a tumble and the result was a mild concussion, a broken thumb, a sprained neck and numerous scrapes and bruises.
The symptoms of concussion were apparent and so I called 911. The local security was great and within minuted of placing my call the paramedics arrived. We discussed ER options, and they stated that G did show the signs of a concussion. So I was given two nearby hospitals which had the CAT scan equipment necessary to properly diagnose such an injury. I chose one and off they went. I followed about 10 minutes later after collecting Gs insurance card, ID, etc. in her purse.
At the hospital the vital signs were good.
The hospital didn't have a specialist on staff at the time; that's what happens when one is injured with a holiday approaching. We were given a specialist to contact the next day, but that specialist has scheduling issues, so we were referred. The surgeon confirmed the problem with the thumb and gave G a new splint after inspecting the hand.
After all of this, G and I went to a local restaurant for a cup of tea.
We're currently waiting for the actual surgery to occur. No word yet. but it should be soon. Delay a few days isn't a bad thing, as it allows the swelling to reduce.
On the other hand, G hasn't had any food or drink since midnight. The surgery could occur today. She's getting hungry.
