Just got out of hospital,spent 6 nights in intensive care,then another 7 in a normal ward.
Sadly i fell 5-6 meters from a building site here in Germany,will be trouble now coz they did not have scaffold put up.
I woke up on the floor,in bad pain down my right side,no one saw me fall,but heard me groaning later.
They flew the doctor in by helicopter,i was in big trouble,the doc put me into a "coma",then had to insert a "needle??" through my broken ribs into my lung,he told my wife,if he had not done that,i would not have made it to hospital.By the time i got to hospital i had lost 2 liters of blood-fluides.
On site,they cut off all my clothes to see the damage.
When my wife got to the emergency room at the hospital,it was empty.She asked about where i was,they told her..the whole "team" was working on me!!!
After an hour ,or when ever,the took me down to intensive care,she asked how i was..the doc told her ..i was at this moment ,out of "life threatening",but if i got pneumonia !!!!
When i woke up,hours later..i had 9 tubes inserted into me...and had loads of "stuff"around me making strange sounds...breathing,heart,pulse,blood pressure,bbc world service...even i think a one armed bandit.
BUT,i was very,very lucky..injuries being "slight".4 broken ribs,damaged lung.shattered shoulder blade,now held together by metal,battered arm and leg.Also a blood clot somewhere in my head-brain.that will be checked again in 4 weeks,but so far the doctors said its no problem,plus many a small injurys.
But i can walk and all other main organs,liver,heart,etc working well.
So an "old" Southend fan can get a bit older,thank God.
