tiaramerchgirlMy first night in Köln, I fell down the stairs.
I was trying to find my way back to my room after going online last night - it was pitch black and I was lost. I went through a corridor and pened a door, thinking ti would lead me to the corridor to my room.
The door led immediately to a staircase, and in the dark I tumbled over, falling till the end. I yelled out for help; I was dizzy and delirious and my right foto hurt like hel.
One of the Fathers found me and a few of them took me to my room. I know I passed out a few times becuase there were moments where I thought I´d be somewhere and next thing I know I was somewhere else. Eston saw me in my room and we all decided to call Bob.
After that, they called an ambulance, and I was sent to the hospital nearby. I had a very painful foot, my head and back hurt, I was dizzy and nauseous. The hospital visit seemed like forever - I had X-Rays (painful because of my foot) and thankfully there are no fractures, just a very sprained ankle.
They put a bandage on my ankle and gave me crutches, and then I had to be injected to prevent thrombosis since I would be immobile. OW. I also got some painkillers; I took one that night.
I barely slept, and next morning we went back to the hospital - my bandage was changed and I got another injection. That injection made me really, really nauseous and I was miserable and depressed the whole morning and afternoon. The crew were doing a city tour and a mayor reception and I was feeling left out.
I talked to my parents and sister and texted my best friend, which helped a bit. I could stand on that foot then, just not walk on it. I needed to walk on it because if I don´t I have to get injected moer - and that´s PAINFUL.
Bob, Gaby, and Carrina (one of the Advance Team LOCs) came by to visit me. We talked a bit about what happened with me and the crew and also the more practical stuff like showing up during the week or moving around or even insurance. They also passed on some notes from the crew, as well as some chocolate and an apple - that really, really made my day. I felt tons better.
I now can walk on that foot, though it´s still sore. Parstof my back and neck still hurt,but it´s not as bad as last night. Tomorrow is a Personal Day and I´m kind of hoping I´ll get visitors but we´ll see. Hopefully I´ll recover enough to return on Thursday, even if it meant sitting down a lot.
I wonder how Anke and Che-Ri did it, man. I felt so not strong these past day or so. Hopefully I´ll get better.
