Ospedale a Bosa

Andy and I had a great couple of days in Sardinia. We went hiking, to the beach and ate some really good food. On our 2nd evening, however, I fell down a spiral staircase in our hotel room. We went to the hospital and I had to get several stitches on the side of my head. I also had several brain scans and, on the second scan, they found a very small amount of blood in my brain. Therefore, I have been in the hospital for the past 2 days and nights so they can keep a watch on it. I feel fine, just a little tired. The doctor is preparing my discharge documents as I'm typing this. In Italy, if the doctor says you have to stay from work for a certain number of days you are legally required to do so. He said that at first he was thinking of 10 days but I may have talked him down to 7. He laughed and said that Italians always ask for more time off. It's a very different system than we're used to.
We'll see what he says. Here's a few more photos from our first few days here...
