Hubby breaks his arm days before medical

We have our much awaited medicals booked for this Thursday (10th Nov), however yesterday my husband fell down the stairs at home and not only knocked himself out, but broke his left arm, badly sprained his right wrist, broke a finger on his right hand and hurt his neck so he can barely move his head! He is generally battered and bruised.

It happened when we got up in the morning and he ws still half asleep and fell down the stairs. I was in the bathroom and heard an enormous crash and ran out to find him unconscious at the foot f the stairs. I phoned for an ambulance and they arrived promptly, just as he was starting to come back round.

They rushed him to hospital and on the journey and whilst there he was very confused and very sick.  They had to take lots of x-rays of his wrist and he broke both bones of the arm just above the wrist and had to have a plaster caste up to his elbow.

I had to phone work to tell them I would not be in. My boss was really great and told me not to come back until he was ok, even if this was a few days.

Talk about bad timimg. Unfortunately this means we have now had to rebook our meds for Dec 5th.

We thought things were going too smoothly!
