Awake at 2am - nice!

After my post yesterday my day went from bad to worse!

Had a phone call from my sons school saying that he'd hurt himself at break time, a year 11 shit kicked a ball at him, he tried to stop it and he'd hurt his wrist.

Now, my boy is accident prone to say the least, and it's not the first time i've had a "Come and get Stinky" call.

I put the down from the school, rang up my mother to come and get me to pick him up as they suggested a trip to A & E would be sensible just to make sure that nothing serious was wrong... About 5 minutes later, i get ANOTHER call from the school saying they've had to call the paramedic because my boy has gone into shock and blacked out. I'm panicking now.....I have to get to the school NOW... I start walking to meet my mother.

Get to the school and he's in the medical room, arm slinged as a precaution but he's on the floor with his legs in the air because when the paramedic got there his blood pressure was 70/33 - REALLY low. I was with him about an hour before he was moved, but then the decision was made for him to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance, his blood pressure was too low to risk us taking him, IF anything had happened, there'd be nothing we could do.

Seen really quickly, had an x-ray, i could see the pictures on the computer screen and as i walked out with my boy i said "Stop making a fuss now, there's nothing wrong with your arm.....". I couldn't see any breaks/fractures.

Back to the waiting room for a few minutes and we were called round to see the doctor. He made my boy do a number of 'tests', which were clearly hurting him because the noise he made was something else, then to my surprise he said "Yes, you've got a lovely break there in your bone." Um....WHAT!? Yes, my son has broken his wrist due to some fuck-wit idiot child kicking a ball at him, not in a nice way, in a horrible (i'm bigger than you) nasty way.

Obviously i am now really angry that a kid has broken MY SON'S WRIST!

He was put in a temporary cast and i've got to go back today and see what they say. They might leave this cast on, or change it.

Kids!!!!

That's the bone that is broken :(

Oh no, poor Stinky! Why are some kids such little s**ts?

I had a similar phone call from my daughter's school on Wednesday. Thankfully her injuries were much less serious but I still ended up at the hospital with her. It was a reminder though of just how far I've come. I'm so thankful that I'm strong enough to cope with this sort of thing because not so long ago I would have fallen to pieces. I'm sure you feel the same - you've come a long way.

Just as a side note, maybe you could look into compensation? My friend claimed £3000 when a girl at school broke her finger ;-)

Tell me about it. I called the school this morning and they said they'd investigate who did it. This kind of thing shouldn't go unpunished.

I coped fine with it. Luckily mum had to take me, otherwise i might have been a different story.

Got an 11.20 appointment this morning... An amazing thing is that they have a lovely coffee shop which do amazing Americanos. EVERY CLOUD HAS A SILVER LINING! ;)

Sorry to hear about you little one. Hope she's okay.

Thanks for the comment.

The appointment was rubbish. Waiting for an hour to be told 'Come back at 8.30 on Wednesday for the proper cast'..... Great!!!

That is where my honey broke one of his 2 broken wrists. It looked like a W across those bones. A year later and it still bothers him, but he's in his 30's. Things dont bounce back like they used to. Hope he feels better soon!

Stinkys is a clear break straight through... The doctor said he 'should' heal nicely (as he's still growing), plus the fact that no operation was needed is a very good indication that it will be okay.

He's a real trouper when it comes to real pain, but if he stubs a toe, it's like he's lost a limb!!!

Hope everything is okay at your end :)

From the mouth of an EX agoraphobic

-
A friend of mine yesterday pointed out what a person had written on their blog about being agoraphobic. Said person is an EX agoraphobic...this is what was said. "Agoraphobia is a selfish state of mind. Its completely "curable", and yet some people just wallow in their own self-pity and will never ever get over themselves and recover. When you are so worried about yourself all the time, how can you possibly be a good mother to someone else? Or a good wife/girlfriend/friend? I've unfortunately been the agoraphobic, and I've been the agoraphobics friend. As the friend, it was miserable. Nothing was ever about anything else but them. It was annoying and frustrating. And completely in their hands to change it, but they wouldn't. Because they're too selfish and self centered. Those aren't qualities people like in a person." Opinions please?

It DID get worse..

...now there's a shocker! I have spent the entire evening in hospital. We had to call an ambulance, these feelings in my heart were insane. I was sat in the back on the ambulance and they did all my obs. I was tachycardic, my BP was really high (usually its stupid low) and my ECG was showing Atrial fibrillation, meaning the top two chambers of my heart are beating faster than the bottom two. I was put on oxygen as well because my breathing was a little bit crappy. The medic man stuck a candular in my hand and hit a valve apparently, my hand swelled up in seconds, it was so painful. Got to the hospital and did all the necessary things and then we had to wait...and wait...and wait. Where they'd stuck that needle in the back of my hand and hit the valve, it started going dead. I couldn't feel 4 of my fingers! I called to get someone to take the bugger out. I'm left with a lovely bit blue bruise this morning. My step-father was called to pick us up because we thoug...
