what a waste of a day

[highlyeccentric]

wasted the last three and a half hours in casualty at RPA...

why? Special Amy Moment 5.7.
I fell out of bed. Or rather, threw myself head-first into the corner of my bedside table, nearly poking my eye out and putting a nice gash in my eyebrow. Had meant to go to a GP, but no-one could be found to drive me to a doctor, so we ended up walking to RPA because that's closest.

so, end result is, i have some steristrips on my eyebrow, i look like some horrible husband/father has been beating me up (and 'i fell out of bed' is a particularly inventive version of the intimidated-woman story, isn't it just?), and i've wasted a whole day on this. However, i've had my first non-visitor hospital experience. Whahoo.

lesson: only buy ROUND bedroom furniture.

Ouch! Hope you heal up soon.

I had one of those kind of "suspicious accidents" once. I ran headlong into my boss while we were playing Q-zar, and the bridge of his nose split my eyelid open. Had lots of fun explaining the shiner! :D

It's game involving two teams of people wearing these special vests, enthusiastically running around in the dark in close quarters and attempting to shoot each other with guns that activate the vests (you know you've been hit when your vest vibrates). It's a lot of fun, but carries a risk of stupid accidents like the one above :P

oh, Laser Tag of some description. Excellent fun, but i have a feeling most of the places that run it around here are closing down for insurance reasons because disasters are so easy...

My brother had to go to hospital once because he dislocated his knee putting his trousers on... I think that tops the Really Daft Injuries in our family :P
