Hospitalized

[fluffymark]

Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ooooooooooooooooooooooooow!

Well that was...er...interesting and unplanned. Just got back from the A&E at some random hospital in north London where I spent the night having stitches put in my leg. Yes, I've had no sleep and have spent the night with my leg in total pain.

Some overenthusiatic dancing at B-Movie led me to hit my leg against something, I later noticed a very nasty looking wound and my leg totally covered in blood. Eeeep. Lots of very helpful people did some very quick first aid. Millions of hugs and thankyous especially to snow_leopard and emarkienna who joined me in the long all night wait at the A&E (rant to follow, when I have time). Also hugs to arkady, reddragdiva, Nicolai and the random bloke in the toliets who first bandaged my leg, and anyone else who was helpful. *huuuuuuuuuuuugs*

Legs is ok but very wobbly now, the stitches are in, its covered in plasters but should be fixed soon. And i'm determined to not let this incident spoil my weekend, and as I can still walk, i'm now going to brave the trains and festival crowds and get to mirabehn's party. The prospect of sitting at home feeling all sorry for myself is not appealing, and I'd much rather be out and about doing stuff.

So must zoom now, as I'm already running late......will do full report when I have time.

Urkle!

I thought some of my random injuries were bad but tha beats most of them.

Glad you're still able to get on with your weekend.

Poor poor poor Mark.

Good thing you are now stitched up - in future try to avoid injuring yourself on Saturday nights.

Or just don't get injured at all. Stop all that dangerous dancing and take up something safer like base jumping.

Love

Joe and Penny

:( Poor you :( Still, next time spin less enthusiastically eh? That can sit on a par with my dislocating-knee-to-Rocky-Horror injury, yay!

honestly Mark, people can't take you anywhere...

:)

Get well soon.

What actually happened, from what I could see, was that there were several pint glasses standing on the edge of the stage and that when you and damerell were spinning round to Dead Or Alive's "You Spin Me Right Round", he managed to spin you off you your feet and onto the glasses which broke. You seemed initially to be ok though, as he picked you up and you both started spinning around again. After the song, I noticed you seemed to have blood on your hand and assumed you'd just cut your hand; it wasn't until later after _nicolai_ had produced micropore tape and someone had wrapped your leg up that I realised what had actually happened.

I'm still astounded that no-one had thought to call an ambulance or ask for the first aid kit behind the bar - all public places are required by law to keep a fully-equipped first aid kit to hand in case of emergencies.

I'm glad snow_leopard and emarkienna went with you to hospital; I felt guilty that I didn't go with you myself, but with two others in the cab beside you already, and Diva and Nicolai waiting for me it wasn't perhaps practical. (Still feel guilty though.)

I sent you a text earlier to see how you are; hope you don't mind that ali_anarres gave me your number but I've been worrying about you ever since the cab drove off!

The bloke who first bandaged your leg was Odie.

I'm pretty impressed now that you made it to mirabehn's party -- I didn't know that it was quite that bad!
