Gardening accident

Well yesterday wasn't a good day.

I eventually got round to trimming our conifer hedge. But due to accidentally falling through the platform I was stood on, it didn't get finished. Instead a 6 hour trip to a +e ensued. After time spent waiting, being prodded, poked and other tests, an x-Ray and telephone conversations with a specialist, it was decided among other things, that I had fractured my cheekbone and got a haematoma under my eye and blood in my sinuses.

After threats of being sent miles a way to a larger hospital for treatment, it was eventually decided that I'd be sent home with strong pain killers and antibiotics and a outpatient appointment.

This morning at home I am sat in pain with one eye I can't see out of because of swelling and reflecting on my gardening accident and what could have been.

I am not put of in the least and will be gardening again soon...just out of action for a few while being waited on by my amazing wife. She was to my rock yesterday. Don't know what I'd have done without her. Love you xxx
