"A poorly mum and an accident whilst in A&E"

I was in A&E with my mum who had been referred by her doctor for admission. We were informed that there was a 30 hour wait for a bed. My mum was poorly and in her late seventies - there was no way she could sit in a chair for 30 hours. I explained this to the receptionist and asked if we could wait for 8 of those 30 hours at home so at least she could lie down. The receptionist was so kind and asked the nurse in charge if they could find her a bed in minors, which she did. We were so grateful and my mum so needed to lie down. Pillows were like gold dust, but a lovely student nurse found us one to save my son a 50 mile round trip bringing one from home. I managed to find two blankets on a trolley so she was quite comfortable. 

Just as I was about to leave, I perched on an office chair. Because it was on wheels, it flew across the room behind me, I fell and whacked my head on a desk. I had a nasty head wound. A doctor must’ve heard the commotion because when I opened the door, he was there. He looked after me so well and 4 hours later was the one who stitched me up.
