from Glasgow.
Posted 31 May 2005.
I was fortunate (or perhaps unfortunate) to have the help of the ambulance crew when I slipped while climbing the old corporation fence in our backcourt and spiking my side (just millimetres from rupturing my appendix!).
A 12 year old friend carried me up to my house 3 floors up the close to my mum. I'm ever so grateful to Ellen McKenna. The ambulance came very quickly and a crowd gathered in the road where I lived, curious to see who the unfortunate patient was. There was an article about the incident in the Glasgow Evening Times.
I remember cuddling into the neck of the anbulance man as I was afraid of all the faces watching and when inside the vehicle, hearing the siren as it sped to the Western Infirmary, where I spent 2 weeks recovering. I was told I had been very lucky because if the spike had pierced my appendix I would have died.
