So I went out on a work party. Had quite a lot to drink. Dh and I were staying in a hotel room. He was snoring away and I took a shower to remove my makeup. I stepped out of the shower, missed the mat and fell 14 stone on my wrist. Woke dh up screaming and his response? Stop being so melodramatic! Currently on my own in a&e minus contact lenses waiting for the results of my X-ray. Feeling very sorry for myself. Little bro on his way, dh snoring in hotel room. My fingers are tingling, in lots of pain, still drunk, upset with dh but I think it's not broken. Need good hand holding... Where do I go from here? Dd at my dsis's and in nursery in morning. Currently mad at dh. Typing with left hand... Anyone?

Alchemists ha ha ha! I was wondering what the comments were about! I think I types locations or houses or some such thing. He's not an alchemist! Bloody iPhone. Made me laugh though. Now I'm the nutter in a sling in a & e!

Right, my bundle is sleeping now so I must too.

I'll check up on you on my next ward round when she next wakes. Hopefully you'll be gone by then. You must feel like crinkly crap I'm sorry. Thanks

DeepPurple · 14/12/2012 03:40

Typed! Not types grr

Oh there always has to be a nutter in a sling laughing to themselves. At least you haven't got drunken panda makeup on.

Good luck

Hope you get your wrist sorted OP. I'd be mad as fuck with your nobend H actually - being drunk doesn't excuse him from looking after his wife when she falls badly and needs to go to A&E. What if you'd had a head injury and couldn't make your own way there - would he have just left you?

Agree with going back to hotel for your breakfast if you can making sure you make lots of noise when you get in so your 'D'H wakes up. Then after breakfast get your keys and go home for some sleep. Whether it's broken or not, he's definitely got some making up to do.

Grin kitty.

Hope you are ok OP, i would go back to hotel, ask for a late check out & relax

avoid the shower

Just popping in. Though the main guest looks to have either run out of iPhone juice, struck up conversation with the laughing person or is being dealt with.

I am awake with my gorgeous 7yr old and a high-temperature. Debating whether it not to put the heating on or cuddle the hot 7yr old.

DeepPurple · 14/12/2012 04:23

Dbro here now. Still waiting for results. Not much juice left in the old iPhone!

I've been on A&E night shifts recently maybe that's why I am still so awake at 5am - where in the country are you, vaguely?

do not strike up conversation with the laughing person!

cafecito · 14/12/2012 04:57

You do have a right to be mad at DH though. However I made (EX) DP go to A&E on his own. Many times. He kept falling over, I wasn't heartless but I had to care for DC and furthermore he was drunk and I thought it would teach him not to be so drunk in future, I didn't want to pander to it. But in your case, I'm annoyed on your behalf!

DeepPurple · 14/12/2012 07:05

Finally home - minus dh. I think he's still at the hotel. Nothing broken, just sprained and sore. Thank you for all the support. I'm really not happy with dh, he needs to do some major grovelling!

Purple poor you Shock DH has some definite making up to do. Waiting on you hand and foot I hope! If my OH fell and hurt his wrist I wouldn't leave him to go alone. Hope you get some rest

kittyandthegoldenfontanelles · 14/12/2012 14:49

How are you, purple ?

Is he home yet? Has he started grovelling? Have you left the bastard?

Showering before bed makes me feel much better the next day. Tis dangerous though

DeepPurple · 14/12/2012 17:18

Dh is still at work so I haven't seen him yet.

I only had makeup on my face, not full body Grin it's just easier to scrub off in the shower.

Feeling very sorry for myself today. I'm very sore and very tired Sad

Hmm I am pretty sure if a woman posted here that her dh had come home, fallen over drunk and was rolling about, screaming they had broken their wrist. They would be told to call him a taxi and send him to hospital on his own and its own fault for getting steaming drunk and trying to get in the shower.

Why would you want a drunk man there anyway? and you could have gone back to the hotel.

kittyandthegoldenfontanelles · 14/12/2012 18:13

I wouldn't Brady.

Has he contacted you, purple?
