Rawr, been so damn stressed out and emo over various things for the past little while.
I’ve been meaning to post here and rant but I couldn’t get the motivation to do it, plus some of it I never ever talk about so its kind of hard to figure out how to rant about something I’d never mention o-o
Anyway, yesterday started out a little better…it was the day Alan was having his birthday party so I was going to meet up with him to get cake and munchies and then set everything up.
My Mum had asked me if I’d come to the store with her after her shower to help carry stuff, it was pouring rain out and I didn’t really feel like getting drenched right before I had to go out so I told her I’d go pick up the heavier stuff with Alan later, she said fine.
After I was out of the shower and ready to go there was no shopping list or cash on the table so I figured she just meant to have me do it tomorrow.
Went to Metrotown, Save-On, ect…
Got back to Alan’s and cleaned up a bit before people started coming, Daniel and Kim got there first.
It was around 5 when my phone rang, the X-Files theme (my mothers ringtone…she’s so paranoid so I thought it was fitting)…and I just had a feeling something was wrong.
It seems that when my Mum was standing at the checkout she passed out…cracked her head open and was bleeding pretty badly.
They called for an ambulance, a cop was checking her out since there’s the community police station right in the mall and oy, and apparently she was out for several minutes.
She told me there was blood all over the floor; all over the ambulance…she left quite the trail… o-o
She got into Emergency right away (head wound and all) and they took her for an EKG and then a CT scan (she said there was a bunch of people with appointments but the doctor she had was so concerned he put her right through). She also had to get a Tetanus shot (head wound touching icky super market floor = could be bad) and like 17 stitches then they sent her home o-o
Thankfully she was smart enough to take a cab but stopped at the bank and then WALKED home /swt
I was like WTF WOMAN?! Why didn’t you CALL?! And where the FECK is Chris?!
She said she didn’t have our cell phone numbers on her so there was no way to get a hold of us *headdesk* (this is going to change :X Chris is having a little card made up with both of our numbers :X)
I asked her if she wanted me to come home, she said no and that she still needed to call Chris…
So it was a few phone calls back and forth…eventually he had Dana drive him right over and they stayed with her for a bit and he told me I should come home in 2 hours since she wasn’t supposed to be left alone.
I got to see most people at least, missed Pam and Jackie who I don’t see much but it was still nice to be able to be there…even if it was only for a short time.
Alan drove me back; I was starving because I hadn’t eaten much in two days.
My brother had left 30mins before I got there so I’m going to rip into him later today -_-!
He could have waited a bit longer, especially when he was telling me to make sure I was home by 9. And I was! I was like 15mins EARLY :X
Sat down with my Mum while she gave me a more detailed play by play, her hair was still caked in blood…she had only been able to wash a tiny bit out herself because the freezing they shot her up with was wearing off (and they cut a chunk of hair out o-o) so I’ll try and help her with that in the morning.
They gave her some blue pamflet about head injurys and it saod how she’s not to be left alone for 24 hours, be woken up every hour, no food for the next 24hrs….just liquids (this one we cheated on because part of the reason she’d passed out was because she hadn’t eaten since 6pm the day before…I didn’t want her passing out again :X)
We ended up ordering in (will regret that later because ambulance fee, taxi + now the food = yay more stress) and omg it was so yummy, she curled up on the couch and I put on a dvd Chris had burned for her and she hadn’t watched yet, so we sort of had an impromptu girls night watching Devil Wears Prada (god I hate the chick’s boyfriend, he comes across as so emotionally manipulative but they never bring that up, its her that’s always apologizing and stuff, I would have dumped the ungrateful jealous arse….specially in the scene where she meets him at the café…his first words? “I have to work in 20mins what do you want?” ahahaha seriously?! I would have been “zomg thank you for reminding me why I dumped your ass in the first place, kthxbai! XD”)
So yus, that was my night…lol
I’m so exhausted but there’s not much point to sleeping…I have to wake her in an hour.
I’m going to be so dead tomorrow but that’s okay.
It could have been so much worse :X
