We can wait for hours in the UK, four hours, five hours.

So I was thrilled, took some painkillers.

You know, the adrenaline's going.

I'm still thinking this is going to be fine.

It's going to be okay.

Opened the front door, found an ice pack and just sat down in the chair and waited.

They arrived and walked in, lifted the ice pack up and said, pain on a scale of one to 10, seven.

I was like, do you take morphine?

Yeah.

that sounds nice load me up with the morphine and she said we need that to just kick in we'll have a look and then we'll call for an ambulance but it could be hours suddenly i remember i've got to be at a party at seven o'clock in the evening and this is now midday and i'm panicking still crying and she said we're never going to get you there it's just not going to happen i'm saying i've seen this on the television you tell that to everybody today it's not an option

My daughter appears.

She's crying.

And I said, can my husband take me?

And they said, no, we've given you morphine.

So I said, we've got one option.

Put me in the back of your vehicle.

Clear the back seat, on the driveway, get me in the car.

And to be fair, they agreed.

Good.

So hobbled out to the car, got into the car.
