more z head
tings were going good...
after lunch, i was sleeping off an orange bacardi breezer (classy, aren't i?) when z said 'come in the pool dad'
'5 more mins z: let your lunch go down first' i mumbled.
5 minutes later mrs.perou was waking me up saying 'z's had an accident, we have to take him to hospital. he's fallen down some some stairs and hit his head on a rock. it's quite serious'
when i found him he was already sat in a hotel taxi waiting to go.
there was a small but deep cut in his forehead.

z was in quite a lot of shock.
his teeth were chattering and he was saying over and over 'i just want to go home and see ludwig'
thai international hospital doctor and nurses were very professional and gentle: washed out his wound and gave him a couple of stitches.
sadly now, z won't be going back in the pool for another 5 days, not just 5mins.

returning to the scene of the accident, it becomes obvious that z was VERY lucky not to have hurt himself more.
it may have been partly my fault, of course, as at lunch i had just voiced my concern that he was quite clumsy and accident prone.
(like son like father)
several drinks and bowls of cereal had already gone flying before he did himself.
pain-killers and antibiotics every 4hrs.
stitches out in 5days.
might get one more day of getting wet before we head home
