Ooo! Crutches!

Tonight was out of control, but really, kind of silly.

Got home from clinical and a nursing buddy of mine and I caught the shuttle back and went to go study for our Pharmacology exam, which is at 9am tomorrow. And then, out of the blue, the curb comes up and pushes her down. She tried to walk it off, but it was sore, and we studied, but it was sore, and then she tried to get up, and she couldn't walk on it.

Luckily we are in a hospital. But all of the wheelchairs were locked up, so I carried her on my back to the Emergency Room. And they told us to go across the street. And when I carried her across the street, they told us to come back to the Emergency Room. But at least we found a wheelchair.

So we waited. In the ER. For 6 hours. And I got hives. Lots of them. And she got crutches and an x-ray. And some nice lady next door gave us $20 to take a cab because sprained foot nursing buddy refused to let me pay for a ride home. Stubborn, she is.

And now I'm home, filled with Benadryl, and Pharmacology information, and just about ready to crash out, but now I can't sleep because of all the excitement.

You know how it is.

So that was my day. And PS, I think I have a latex allergy. And PPS nursing buddy is fine.

BED FOR ME!

OY. GOOD THING you live at a hospital! Hahahaa
I hope the hives are better.... Good luck to PPS Buddy.... you didn't know me during freshman year when I was on crutches for 9 weeks... my advice is to get some dish towels to wrap around the tops of the crutches... otherwises they rub and frey and generally get messed up.
