Had a Fun night last night..
Wife couldn't sleep or sit down or stand up...
severe abdominal pains, that refused to subside....
At 2.00 we called the local 24-hour GP's office...
he (trough very rough english) jabbed her with a pain killer.. did nothing..
he sent us to the hospital for a possible appendicitis...
on the way there turned a corner hit some serious black ice & seconds later ended up nose down in a frosty grass ditch (thankfully we didn't turn over)....
called 999 & got an ambulance to get my wife as she was the obvious priority...
called the local Police station & reported the incident ...
cops arrived first & started to take statements (had no jacket because I left house in a hurry) & it was £€€&ing cold....
Ambulance arrived picked up wife...
sat in the back of the police car (there's a first time for everything) & finished off the statement in warmth... other officer woke up the tow truck guy...
10 minutes passed where I was starting to feel the effects of shock trying to set in, but I was too worried about my wife to care about that...
truck arrived & pulled my little car out of the mud...
repair dude gave the engine & wheels the once over and gave it a clean bill of health & then only charged me €50 (standard tow away price €150) for the call out & drag.
Colette (the female Garda (police officer) was chatting with me by the roadside as I was turning the car over to make sure I was ok & a 16 wheeler shoots passed us at ridiculous speed missing her by mere inches.... she was not impressed...
Just as I was saying thank you to everyone & about to pull away another car skid into the wall a fair bit behind me....
Wife is ok (she is waiting on a bed & has been seen by the Consultant) she may be home tonight....
& all this before 7am
