So I've just gotten home from class, and I'm sitting at my computer with no pants on.
It's been pouring all day, you see, and my Dickies have gotten soaked up to my shins so I've taken them off to dry. I'm on MSN chatting with the BF (who I'm gonna go see in Boston tomorrow!! ♥) when I hear someone calling loudly from outside the building. Thinking that someone's been locked out of the dorm, I throw on a pair of sweatpants and go to let them in.
Outside I find my suitemate on the ground with her bags strewn all about her. She was just coming home and slipped on the wet concrete outside the front door, getting badly injured in the fall. She's in a lot of pain and crying. She says her head hurts and she can't move her arm; she thinks it's broken. I run inside to call the police and then hurry back out to keep her talking until the paramedics show up.
She asks me to call her mother since she's from Nor Cal, like me, and has no family down here. I let her mom know what's happened and which hospital she is being taken to. Then I track down her roommate and other girl friends in the suite, so they can go to the hospital and bring her some dry clothes and take care of her when she is released. ♥
She is back when I get home a little after 10 tonight. She got a concussion in the fall and has fractured her wrist, possibly requiring hand surgery, but at least she's safely home now. And on Vicodin. And lying cozy in bed, being spoiled by the other girls. =)
