Marvellous Marty Medical Centre!
This is a story of a stupid accident that fortunately has a happy ending thanks to our marvellous medical centre!
To set the scene- harvest had been fantastic but inevitably full on and pressured with the threat of that easterly system to beat. Pickers became as scarce as hens teeth with everyone jockeying for their vineyard to be the next on the list.
Just to throw an extra layer of stress we were bottling our precious 2013 wine so that needed filtering before going off the Martinborough Winemaking Services.All these are really weak excuses for why I was going too fast in the winery and cut my leg quite deeply.
Within seconds my stupidity had resulted in my leg being cut to the bone and my Redbands being forever dyed with more red stuff than “Bata” had ever imagined.
What followed is pretty easy to picture- lots of the use of one word in particular, some quick bandaging and a quick sprint to the Martinborough Medical centre.
After a rather dramatic TV Style crash through the door-pretty much everyone in the waiting room gets the idea that I am either extremely a complete drama queen or I genuinely do need to get some urgent medical help.
And thankfully that is what I got in spades.
Not just the expert work of Dr Steve stitching me back together again, but a whole team of expertise from Nurse Dawn and trainee Nurse Aimee- not forgetting Nurse Annette and Kiwa and Alice too.
I have to admit to being a bit freaked out with the size of the cut and to feeling pretty worried about whether this was going to allow me to run and jump do everything I like to do in my active life. And here I am a month later with my leg nearly healed with no complications that can make this sort of accident much worse.
Not quite a happy ending but a renewed appreciation for the awesome town that we live in. A big thank you to the Marvellous Medical Centre and keep up the good work- we really do appreciate it!
