A couple of hours ago Sid left for the hospital in an ambulance.  While lying on the carpet watching tv before bedtime a section of the glass light fitting silently fell from the ceiling in one large piece, landing on the inside of his foot.  The cut was deep and bloody and the poor love was shocked, shaking and screaming.  Stephanie and Caitlin rallied around, running for the first aid bag and roll of tissues.  Harry was crying and Sid was understandably screaming very loudly.  I screamed for Mike to come downstairs as he was putting Paddy to bed for the night.  Mike ran downstairs and tended to Sid and I phoned for the ambulance.  Once I had got off the phone to the operator Mike asked me to finish off putting Paddy to bed, when Ben said that he had already taken care of everything.  I’m now waiting for the call from Mike to tell me to go and collect them from the hospital.  I hope Sid is ok and not in any pain any more and I hope they aren’t too much longer as he’s likely to be extremely tired and miserable and wanting his bed.  Thank God that it wasn’t any worse, as it so easily could have been.  I hope this week gets better.
