At minor injuries again

Third time since July with the same child.
I'm rather embarrassed.
First time was a buckle fracture on her wrist after a fall that she'd been masking for a week before it got too much.
The day after she had her plaster off, she stood on her skateboard while I was literally putting her protective gear on, it flew from under her and she came down on her elbow, broke it.
She had that cast off last Thursday, I then had a call from the school at lunchtime today to tell me to come and get her, someone has tripped her up and she's fallen on the same elbow again.
We're sitting here, in our 'usual' seats awaiting judgement 😳
Please keep us company with tales of your own repeat trips to hospital with calamity prone children.

Ouch, a broken elbow sounds very painful! I hope she's ok and it's a false alarm this time 🤞😬 mine is only 20 months old so no injuries just yet bit he has had to go to the walk in centre on 3 different occasions for different rashes (one was suspected meningitis, the exact rash, he was rushed to paediatric A&E, put top of the queue, lots if doctors seeing to him...of course it was nothing the end 🙈 although obviously pleased he was checked out!).

You definitely did the right thing, rashes can be scary. I feel like a total fraud sitting here, she's on her phone and looks quite happy, but is says she's unable to straighten her arm 🙈

I feel your pain op. We joke that dd1 has her own seat in a&e (plays a lot of sport, has no fear and a very high pain threshold)

I hope it's not broken again!
