Ashley's run in with a Drum Cymbal..stapples involved!
Today, about 15 minutes before work was out, I receive this phone call from Zach, Ashley's boyfriend. Ashley has had an accident and we are headed to Providence Hospital. She fell and busted her head open! Ashley then gets on the phone, crying hysterically, I am bleeding and my head is cut. OK! So when do I not panic? It was a good thing that I had my deposits entered. All I needed to do from that point was print them. Well, I had 2 slips to print, I printed the same slip twice, realized I left a check out after shutting down my machine. I had to log back in print out a new slip to replace the duplicate slip and then do a whole new slip for the lone check! I ended up with 3 deposit slips. I called Chad because he was CLOSER to the hospital and he made it there before Ashley ever showed up! I felt much better that he was there. I called my mom to let her know that we would be late getting home since she takes care of Chase only to find out that he has cried all day and had been fussy. Chad tells me that Ashley is OK and to go home and pick up Chase. I do. (Ashley wanted me there) I get there. I find out that Ashley tripped over a part of Zach's drum set, grabbed the CYMBAL stand while going down and the Cymbal smashed her in the back of the head. It caused about an inch and a half long cut. It is wide also. (kind of like slicing a tomato thick with a dull knife, you can get deep enough but not quiet!) Chad and I decide that things are OK and one of us needs to go home with Chase. Chad and Chase leave. The nurse finally calls us back and they examine Ashley's head. Then we wait. The doctor comes in and cleans and numbs the cut. Ashley is very emotional at this point. She cried through the whole procedure. She now has 6 staples in her head...she will get them out in a week. POOR BABY. I feel sorry for her.
