Some days...

[sarka]

There are days where things are brilliant.
There are days when things could be better.
There are days when things could be worse.
There are utter shit days.

And then there are days like today.

*breaks into the hard liquor*

Apparently, Mr. S is now up and walking around on his own, thank Christ. At the hospital, under the supervision of doctors, after being taken in the ambulance I called for him when he fell off the parallel bars during cleaning time.

Onto his face. At an angle that could easily have snapped his neck. And he couldn't move when I reached him - couldn't, in fact, feel anything below his neck.

It should be mentioned that Mr. S is my immediate superior. He's also 54 years old. Do not ask me what the hell he was doing on the parallel bars, I do not know. I suspect him of forgetting that he's 54 years old. He's that kind of guy.

*sigh*

And then I went and offered an extra pair of hands to M who was teaching a 6th grade English class on his own, with Mr. S in the hospital. 6th graders thought they could run the class. They were quite shocked when I made it clear to them that the English teacher runs the class, whoever the English teacher may be.

God, I'm glad I have tomorrow off.

When I ran up to him and he was face down on the ground I wasn't even thinking "broken back". I thought he was dead. So yeah. *breathes out*

Woah. That sounds scary to the max. D:

It's kind of amazing that he's walking around and everything. Lucky guy.

I called school earlier to ask how he was and apparently, his grip isn't very strong - he's going to have a detailed exam... but he'll be fine.

Gosh, yeah. I'd break into the hard liquor as well. *pats*

A drink seems to be in order after such a day. I'm glad Mr S is able to be up and walking after such a fall. Goodness, he might have killed himself.

When I was running up to him, that is what I was thinking. Not "broke his back" but "damn, he's dead".

*hug* Sounds awful.

Oh good lord! I'm glad to hear he's doing okay!

Hope things are a little less crazy tomorrow! *hug*
