More bad things

After the first 3 bad things, there were 3 more - Ned missed his plane back from LA - an extra £350 required - and then our hot water failed (not good for our AirBnB visitors), then finally - on 24th August, Ned had a terrible accident.  He was jet-lagged, had had 2 beers and a bit of weed, and felt light headed - he says he passed out - and fell over face forward onto a window which smashed, lacerating his nose, his upper lip, two places on his cheek and forehead and losing teeth (debateable how many).   Once I had recovered from the shock of seeing flesh hanging off his face (again - his eyebrow, when he was 7), and the whole trauma of going to A&E in Ashford, we began to recover slowly.,   He had about 50-60 stitches - as well as a load of soluble ones inside his nose and lips.  He spent two nights in hospital.

It was a night mare.  I am pleased to report that he is healing, and it could have been much, much worse.  He is going back to UEA for his final year this Thursday and life will begin to return to normal.

I think the horror of the accident may have put things into perspective for him a bit.  Anyway, he seems calmer now that the pain is over, the stitches are out and the healing is beginning.  He has two lymph filled pouches on his face and forehead - but these will go eventually.  Just hoping that things will carry on improving.  He's getting serious about his work again, and his music - so I am just praying that he, and Finn will knuckle down to work this year, and perhaps next summer we will have something to celebrate!
