let me tell you what happened 4 weeks ago: i went out with a few friend (for the first time in FOREVER.) emma, her twin sister lizzy, her older brother, layla, eleanor, and a new person, jade.
we went ice skating for emmas birthday party.
it all went GREAT and was a load of fun... for the first half an hour.
i broke my finger. how?
well, i haven't been ice skating for years. im not too good at it, but i can sure do it just fine.
jade and layla cant.
so, staying with layla as she held onto the wall for a while before going off and gaining myself some speed i left to do my own thing, as im so used to doing.
you see, i can skate just fine... but im not great at stopping.
i stop by spinning backwards and grabbing the edge of the hockey arena (which is also used for the public to skate in) which works just fine as a stopping mechanism.
after a few rounds or skating on and off with emma and eleanor, who skate well, before speeding off, the whole group stopped and were waiting around for each other.
locating them, i was going to stop next to them for a chat.. but what i didnt notice was the glass wall.
stopping quickly has its risks, but i never though i would snap part of my bone.
a bit og the glass above the wall wasnt in place, it was pushed slightly further in then the rest.
and unfortunately, thats where i stopped.
slowing down using the wall after the spin seemed like a good idea. IT WAS NOT.
sliding my finger, still at speed, on the defaulted part of the wall, slamming my finger backwards and breaking it.
i felt the pain like throbbing of blood when you get a terrible headache and someone is screaming in your face.
i thought it was just normal pain until i started blacking out.
now, the last place i want to black out at is the arena. dont want to lose a few fingers thank you!
so sliding slowly, supported by layla and i think eleanor and emma we went to the nearest exit.
my eyes started blurring and everything sounded like it was under water and distant.
i felt like i was going to puke my guts out, i didnt, luckily.
emma went off to tell her dad something was wrong.
i was laying across two chairs, still half blacked out.
walking around on normal floor in ice skates is no easy task.
layla helped me around stating that its because i helped her earlier in the ring.
we reached emmas father and i had most of emmas drink being the great, rude friend i am XD
anyways.. having a drink and getting some ice didnt seem to help much.
i was still sweaty from the blackout and was wearing nothing but jeans and a shirt sitting around the frozen water.
i wasnt cold but was told its best to keep warm anyways.
time passed and i still didnt feel any better.
we called out a medic who examined it and said she thinks i should go to the ER (emergency room, hospital) and so i called my mum to pick me up.
now, it all seems pretty quick, but it took me over 2 hours, with a broken bone, to reach the hospital.
everybody was extremely supportive and would come off the ice every few minutes to check on me.
everyone except for jade.
well, jade said something that REALLY pissed me off.
she said that "it doesnt matter that i hurt myself, she doesn't want to come off the ice because she paid 5 pounds to stay on for 3 hours."
emmas dad was willing to give me a lift home so i could get to the hospital, but he couldnt leave jade behind.
i mean, she hasent even mooved off the wall and was skating as slow as a dying turtle, dragging emma with her around.
trust me, she wasted her money ANYWAYS.
well, reaching the hospital, i had to wait about another hour to bee seen.
then, having an X ray, they bound my fingers together for the weekend until a professional can look at the x ray themselves.
they bound my fingers wrong and the swelling of the bone caused my blood stream to be blocked.
my fingers were throbbing an aching until i decided to remove the bandaging and realized it was doing more harm than good.
well, i went to the local doctors and they bound the fingers differently.
after a while i was called back to the hospital to have the bone RE-BROKEN and put to place the way it should be.
today im still in a lot of pain and waiting for this bone to heal.
i have my literature GCSEs, worth 20% of my final gradein english this week and i cannot write because of my finger. GREAATTTTT
either way... i learned a lesson.
dont go out with friends XD
gosh... emma wants to go bowling when my finger heals..
wish my luck XD
sorry for terrible writing skills and for a long post XD
until next time
