This morning when I was emptying the dishwasher and doing jobs around the kitchen dd was following me around .She wanted to be picked up etc. She was tired as she'd woken at 5 30 ish this morning. And she is just sometimes clingy.
Anyway I was walking backwards and forwards from the dw to the drawer and as I turned round to walk back to the dw she was right there and I sort of knocked into her and she fell over and I trod on her right foot
I picked her up and cuddled her etc then we had to go to school. In the buggy.
At school I thought it was odd that she didn't want to get out of the buggy but I thought she was just tired.
Then she had to have a jab at the doctors and was clingy at home. I thought again she was tired and/or upset from the injection. She had some calpol.
When she woke up from her nap I went to put her down and she wouldn't put any weight on her foot. Just cried. I rung the doctors and they said I could be seen at the end of surgery. All afternnon she didn't use it and just either sat with me or shuffled on her bum. She had neurofen.
The doctor checked it over and asked how it had happened , I told her and she asked if I'd trodden on it, I said 'no'. I just felt so guilty and embarrased and ashamed. She only fractured her wrist a month or so ago falling of my bed .
Doctor said it was probably a sprain and if she's not using it tommorow then to go back or to A and E.
When I got home I felt so guilty for lying that I rung her back and told her, crying my eyes out at the same time.
I just feel that its always my children (out of our friends and family etc)that are at the doctors or hurting themselves.
dd has had a lot of ear infections and the doctor thinks her balance is affected so she could be accident prone.
I feel like a bit of a crap mum today. I love them to bits.
