Originally Posted By bloona thank you again. He is going to go to the Drs tomorrow. The hospital didnt check him over, just cleaned him up and put steri strips on his cut. I bet they thought he was just another man getting into fights! He is worried, because as his eye is slowly opening, it is seeing things on a slant. His head was very bad at bed time last night, he said he felt worse than he had. He said it felt as he imagined a migrane would feel. With flashing lights etc. He is blaming the fact he watched a lot of tv yesterday, and it felt as if his bad eye was trying to see. He feels a lot better at the moment, but can feel a headache coming on again . We have rung the police again, they said would he be in all day today...mmm..not able to go far is he???

Originally Posted By bloona We have just been to the drs. He said he thinks he has a fractured cheek bone, that’s pressing on the sinus causing the sinus pain and the nerve that runs down to his jaw that’s making his teeth feel numb. He is sending him for an X-ray in the next couple of days, but said that it’s to document it since it’s a police enquiry as much as anything, as there’s no treatment needed for it. He says the double vision is expected as the eye ball is being pressed. He has to go back to the Drs Wednesday to check to see how the swelling is going down. And he has given him a sick note for a week, but says he needs a couple of weeks off.

Originally Posted By bloona I know LuLu, I wasnt impressed either at them missing that, Im guessing they thought he was some drunken fighter who probably deserved to get injured, rather than a victim of crime.
Originally Posted By Lady Starlight bloona, I'm so sorry for Patrick. how awful that they didnt take care of him properly when it first happend. Your poor DH. I hope he is doing better now though .Thanks for keeping us posted. ((Hugs))
Originally Posted By wonderingalice This is just awful... There are a lot of sick, sadistic creeps out there. Many wishes for a quick recovery for Patrick... physically and emotionally. These things can really take the wind out of one's sails. *HUGS*
Originally Posted By Lady Starlight So true Wonderingalice, but thank goodness we have friends here in LP that care about one another enough to carry portable fans to get us sailing again.
Originally Posted By bloona The police have just been. He was here over an hour taking a statement. I was very impressed. Theyre hoping the CCTV will pick them up as Patrick gave a very good description of their clothes. Theyre calling to take photos of his injuries tomorrow. Although I pointed out that the photos I took were better...lol...so Ive been asked to give those as evidence too. He called at the house to thank them on the way back from the Drs, there was no one in unfortunately. But I could see how very nervous he was entering the property again. He was looking for his blood stains. When he got back in my dads car he was physically shaking. Patrick said that out of all this, the overwhelming support and well wishes he has had from so many people, have shown him, that despite this knocking his confidence, it shows him that the vast majority of people are really good. Its just a few who spoil things. So thank you all again, you are REALLY helping him through this.xxx
