Last night ended with a trip to the emergency room?.
I must say a lot is happening this summer, for better or for worse. Yesterday was a day as any other day this summer consisting of some physical activity. I hooked up with Robert and his brother and a friend of his for some 2on2 basketball. Had some good music on in the background and there was slight improvement from the night before. All went well with some minor injuries and a lot of laughter.
Robert’s brother went home and we stayed behind just playing about, shooting and doing lay-ups. 1 shot, 2 shots, 3 shots four sh…BANG!!!!! The whole board and ring (between 30 and 40 kg) crumbles and hits Robert straight on the head. Robert yells out “call for an ambulance” holding his head while blood is gushing out. I saw the actual cut and we’re talking a 20 centimetre cut, not the nicest thing I’ve seen.
Called for an ambulance and his parents and went to the emergency room. Under the circumstances Robert was the calmest of us all, me his mom and dad all had a pulse around the 180 spot.
Moments to remember:
The doctor putting his hand under Roberts scalp.
The big needles for anaesthetic.
Robert taking a piss in a bottle.
Robert got around 22 stitches and stayed for observation over the night. Met up with him today and he looks like one of the Coneheads, picture will follow, but he feels all right. In a way he was lucky since it could have gone some much worse. If it had hit his neck or something who knows what would’ve happened.
Filed a report to the police and talked to the local newspaper just to attract attention to the problems with equipment around the Piteå municipality. The baskets were taken down today as well just to prevent something like this happening again. Bureaucracy is evil at its purest form…people are just blaming each other and passing it on so they don’t have to bother or take responsibility. I’m just happy Robert is ok but this could happen again if nothing is done about it….more might follow.
