An excursion to the Drogheda Hospital Emergency Department was
not part of our plans but Joy managed to go for a slip and slide at the Newgrange
Neolithic site and …
Staff at the site were kind enough to loan a wheelchair for
a tour of the related site at Knowth and allow Adrian to use it to push Joy
back up the 600m pathway to the carpark (even leaving a second wheelchair at
the top of stairway halfway back). After the site visit it was off to hospital
the experience the Irish health system. Six hours and a couple of X-rays later
Joy was diagnosed with sprains and abrasions and ordered to rest for a couple
of days.
Timing for Joy’s mishap was also unfortunate as we were
booked in to stay in a castle in Ardee for that evening. Our rooms were on the
second floor with access via a narrow circular stairway. It was a great place to
stay but access was a little difficult for Joy. Concerned that Joy was getting
all the attention, Adrian tried to knock himself out on the stairway (twice).
People must have been a lot shorter back in 1400s!
