I called my dad. They're still down at the hospital, and they still havent taken any pictures of her shoulder yet!!

I knew he shouldnt have taken her to the hospital he works at. (not the greatest place in town...it's a good hospital, excellent trauma center, their emergency room for non-traumas is a lot more sucky than the rest of the ER's in town tho)

They've been there for more than an hour. Not that I should be surprised, because when I hurt my eye about 12yrs ago (my dog had put his claw thru my eyelid accidentally) I sat there for 3 or 4 hours while the doctors and nurses were eating pizza at the main desk. Good thing my dad knew the head nurse on duty that day...he went and got her and they came in and checked my eye out. (scratched cornea) and then the nurse "accidentally" lost my paperwork and we never got charged for the visit. (yay!)

So, the fact that they havent looked at her after an hour shouldnt surprise me. Last time I took her to the ER it was for an anaphylaxic (sp?) reaction of some sort...At least an anapyhlaxic reaction gets you bumped up in line for being seen.

I just hope she didnt dislocate or break anything. This is only the second time she's gone to the ER for a fall. (she broke a rib about 10yrs ago when TinyMonsters accidentally tripped her while he was chasing the neighbor's evil lawn mower)

I hope she's just sprained...

I also hope I was right to decline the ambulance...I still think she'd be sitting there waiting, even if the squad had taken her to a different hospital.
