DS cut his toe quite badly a week ago. Managed to deal with it at home (it bled a lot). A few days later the cut opened up again but again I dealt with it. It hasn't been getting any better but hasn't opened up since. Yesterday it was looking a little odd, I was concerned it could be infected especially as he runs around without socks so I took him to a minor injuries department. They cleaned his toe and dressed it. They said if it doesn't look to be improving this week then to take him back.
A friend contacted me today to ask how we were, DS toe injury came up, I said we had been to the hospital and they had cleaned it and dressed it. She then got really shitty and said that I've treated him like he's a baby? And I could have cleaned it and dressed it myself. I had obviously been cleaning it and putting plasters onto it, but it was more that I wanted someone to look at it to check there wasn't any infection and it was healing.
Was I being unreasonable taking him? As I said it was a minor injuries dept, not a and e. And I don't understand how exactly it's treating him like a baby?
I've really doubted myself now, this is a friend who I've looked to as someone older and wiser, so it feels like a harsh judgement.
