My Girlfriend Ruptured Her Eardrum

Hey guys,

So let me start off with this, what's really been scaring me. We were swimming together and I accidentally hit her in the head, which leads to something terrible.
She starts screaming in pain, and sobbing uncontrollably. I am of course confused and don't know what to do. I get her out of the pool, but she is still screaming.

Long story short, her eardrum was ruptured, the membrane torn. She sobbed and screamed for 15 minutes straight. This occurred yesterday and I am still in trauma.

Seeing this happen to someone you deeply care about, them screaming in pain for 15 minutes, while you sit there and can't do anything is terrible...so so so very terrible.

I can't get it out of my head, and she is currently staying home and relaxing, healing it. I'm just so scared and terrified. I understand it isn't very serious and it will heal...but I'm just so scared. This has never happened to me, I've never seen someone suffer so badly, for so long.

And because this happened to someone I love, I am traumatized. I've taken the day off because I just simply can't focus on anything else. I am horrified.

Please, pray for her, pray that she will heal and get better.
The entire day has been me worrying and getting updates on what the doctor's are saying. Again I know this isn't anything majorly serious, but I'm still traumatized by the incident and I'm worried for her.

Thank you
