Today was an odd day! First, Sherlock mutilates me by scratching me really hard (he didn't mean to, we were playing and he clawed me and then kinda slipped.. but it was bad. I heard the sound of skin tearing and knew it was going to be a bad injury... ouchy) and then Tom passed out during chatting! He locked his knee and the pain caused him to pass out and he knocked his head somewhere. I was so worried for him. We later figured that he probably passed out because of the pain, but I still thought that maybe it could be something serious. Especially with him knocking his head or so. So I suggested he should go see a doc. His dad then insisted he should go to the ER and I didn't want Tom to argue now so he went along. When he returned and had everything checked they said he was all right and he passed out for the exact reasons we assumed. But it was still really bad... I was worried for him. It probably never was bad, but it's just so odd when this kind of thing happens and you can't be there. I called him as soon as he got back to his chair and told me what happened, but in those 3 mins or so that I didn't know what was going on... sheesh.
