What A Day!

Something I haven't mentioned yet is that I'm a twin.  Not identical, but the youngest (by three minutes) half of a pair.  I promised Debbie I would do a post about her as she commented on my blog that I hadn't mentioned her lol  Unfortunately today did not go as I'd planned!

My husband had a little fall last night and landed on his head, hurting his neck.  Rather than call for an ambulance he got up and drove home.  After some persuasion he agreed to go to hospital where he was put into a neck collar and strapped to a bed for various x-rays.  They sent him home at two o'clock this morning with painkillers saying it was pulled muscles.

Today he can't move his neck, the pain has spread to his shoulders and his vision is blurred!!!!  So it was back to casualty for a four hour wait where the doctors decided he had a concussion and I have to monitor him closely for the next few days incase he starts having double vision or vomiting.  At least Paul now accepts how sore he is and is taking it easy.

On a good note though Aimee found out today she no longer has to wear her eye patches, which she has been wearing five days a week since she was eighteen months old.  It was the best feeling seeing the smile on her face when the specialist told her.  I have never been prouder of her because she wore those patches religiously and I couldn't have.  I tried one once and couldn't keep it on for five minutes never mind two hours.  Kids really can handle anything.

Anyway here are a couple of pics of me and my sister (just to keep you happy Debbie:)  We look like sisters but I don't think we look like twins.  What do you think?

It's probably obvious but as I'm not wearing glasses in these photos I'll tell you I'm on the right in the top photo and on the left in the bottom.  What siblings if any do you all have?
