Need a bit of support today ladies. Yesterday afternoon I got a call from one of the other coaches my fiance works with that he had been hurt and the ambulance was taking him to the local trauma center (fortunately only a couple miles from my work). He got hit in the head with a rectangle of metal piping (used for practice throwing discus, took an unexpected hook in the air and happened too fast to stop it). He has a concussion, fractures to the temporal bone and bone above his eye and cut his ear pretty bad (even has cuts in his ear canal so hearing is messed up in that ear right now). I stayed at the hospital with him last night; he's still in the ICU, but they made me leave when the shift was changing this morning until actual visiting hours start in a few hours. Hopefully, he'll get released to a floor this afternoon/evening. The hardest part is feeling so helpless to do anything to make him feel better. Getting a head start on that "in sickness and in health" stuff.

To complicate matters, I'm supposed to take an early flight tomorrow to go away for a girls weekend with my mom/aunts/cousins that my mom and her sisters have been planning for a year. I think he would want me to go (there's not much I can do for him here and he has his family near by too), but his memory is so bad right now I'm just dreading hearing that he was asking for me because he forgot I was going or that we had talked about whether I should. I don't want to resent him for denying me time with my family when it's not his fault, but I don't want to miss a rare opportunity for some mother daughter bonding if there's nothing for me to do for him at home. Right now, going to wait and see how he progresses today and talk to his family.
