darklightimages is in hospital...
Apr. 3rd, 2003 04:05 pm...the daft bint tried to change the time on the glass clock in her bathroom, while in the bath. It slipped out of her wet hands, hit her knee and smashed, then a big chunk went into her foot and cut a couple of tendons (one totally, one partially). Ouch.
I've been to see her and she's basically okay. She had surgery this morning and they've managed to put her foot back together, but it looks like she might be kept in tonight as well, as they had to give her a general anaesthetic in the end and she's still a bit wobbly. When she gets out, she's got 4 weeks of having a big cast on her lower leg, and not being allowed to put any weight on her foot in case the tendons snap again.
Apparently she doesn't plan on letting this stop her working (as a photographer) at the Kerrang Weekender next week :)

Date: 2003-04-03 08:25 am (UTC)That's the bit I didn't know! I had amazing amounts of sympathy for her, while I was labouring under the assumption that she'd been unlucky enough to be underneath it when fate had decided to let it fall!
Poor girl though, however it happened, it's still really crap.....
