Well done you - good job you had your wits about you - the best thing you could've done is the "cold" compress as this would stop the bleeding. As for yourself - you're probably just feeling the after-effects of "shock" right now so your cup of tea should help you with that too!! Also, I would suggest you take Joanna's recommendation and have another cup of tea and just sit and rest for a while - why not watch the TV - try and take your mind of what's happened.

Glad your mum's ok and glad your dad was at hand to help out - but if he wasn't I'd've been inclined to insist on hospital - if nothing more than to check that your dear mum wasn't suffering from concussion!!

Happy you're all ok!

Kind regards

Christine
