Hi Folks,
Haven't been on for a few weeks as I've been visiting and doing Church course and work and all the usual 'Mum' things that we do!
Last thursday I had a really 'bad' morning and won't bore you with the details but I got in the car to do the school run and said to uber-cool Ellie "Days that start this bad can only get worse!!"
Call it tempting fate or sheer stupidity but..... Work was fine, the weather was fine and all seemed at peace in the world. Picked Sarah up from school- "please Mummy you promised we would go to the park", so we went to the park buying an icecream on the way. I was quite looking forward to sitting in the sunshine and with some of the other Mums. All of a sudden I heard a thud- I knoew before I even saw it that the thud was Sarah falling off something. As she stood up under the monkey bars about 10 metres from where I was sat I could see that her arm was the wrong shape. Well to cut a story short she has broken her right arm in 2 places and had to have it manipulated and wired back together. So from now on I'm not going to say things like that again 'cos fate was waiting in the wings to strike with a cruel blow.

Katexx

P.S.
We got out of hospital yesterday and Sarah will need to have the wires removed in approximately 4 weeks and then take it from there.

    What a shame. Poor thing - how is she bearing up? That must have been a nasty shock for you too.

    I have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.

    Kate, how rotten for you and Sarah. My eldest did something very similar when she was 10 climbing a door frame (which she had been forbidden to do). Hers all went fine, wires and pins out with no problems and physio for a month after, no trouble since and she's 43 now!

    I just don't believe it. See my post on bertyboy's latest thread. Oh. Just realised kate it may not be quite for you, some disguised anglo-saxon involved. The membership does seem to be under some form of attack, in no particular order suffering people include bertyboy, frogmorton, delboy, tkachev, bubbles, various people recovering from ops, mell, chris7, vonski, jaspercat, speedy's son (no communication device) and others that i have forgotten 'cos there are so many - my apologies to them.

    Your poor daughter. I suppose on the up-side it will heal, broken bones do mend but the poor girl, what a thing to happen. I am so sorry, I wish you both well. DD

    Kate what a horrible day it turned out to be. I'm so sorry for your little girl. I'm glad she is ok apart from her arm.

    Children heal very quickley and I hope it won't be too long before she recovers from this.

    Love Trish xx

    Hi Kate

    So sorry to read this, I hope your daughter is getting spoiled! Don't be too hard on yourself, it would have happened whatever you said that morning.
