Dave together with Steve from the Littlehampton paramedic crew had to pay us a visit last night. Completely exhausted after a day battling against the wind and the rain, Sue managed to dislocate her shoulder. This hasn't happened for years but she is double-jointed ....
She was in severe pain ... I've certainly never heard screams like that in real life before. Any move lead to more and more pain. We looked after her as best we could, trying to keep her warm at least.
Then the cavalry arrived in the form of Steve and Dave.
After gas and air, morphine and an hour of gentle coaxing, Steve and Dave managed to get her arm back into the right place and then take a rather shocked and exhausted bike rider off to hospital. Sue and Rhod were in A&E for 5 hours and so were back at the hotel at around 3 in the morning.
Thanks to the paramedics ... I hope your ears have recovered!
(and sorry for the poor quality of the photo!)
