she has hurt her arm......happened last thursday in acro. she did a forward dive roll over someone and landed badly on her wrist/hand and they thought she had dislocated or fractured something (the dance teacher and a another mum who is a first aider).
anyhoo....they ring and DH was actually waiting outside to collect DD2 ready for scouts, so brought all three girls home and I take DD1 to A&E.......xrays ect....
anyhoo.....doc comes in, queries scafoid (sp?) fracture, but then tells us that he thinks we have bought her in too soon and so the fracture hasn't shown up (something to do with bones bleeding etc??, does that sound correct??).......he still thinks fracture, but as they have had issues and arguements recently with a nearby hospital (the one we would go to with fractures for clinic apps etc) he will for now just bandage it and see us in a week and then xray again to look for 'calcification' that would then prove the break....
((adding here that the problems with the other hosptial is all true......got two friends currently going thro complaints with both hospital for incorrect fracture DX, or even misses-at the hospital, not my friends))
anyway.....flame gave us a teeny wrist support for her, plus I have got some tube-a-grip stuff too, yet she is still in utter agony.....plus she has now had almost costant pins and needles in her hand too...
one friend reckons that the hospital will just shrug at me and say to take her home agian until friday.....
another reckons to leave her till tuesday
I want to take her back but am scared that will then get irritated, plus DH is at work all this weekend and it means taking all 5 kiddies in..........that IS insane in my book.
I don;t like leaving her.......I am worried that it will cause issues if it is fractured and left, yet.......will it???
oh, and the hospital also queried me why we have taken her in already 13 times in the last 12mths, and looked at us (and I wonder if this is why they are kind of 'fobbing us off') strangely about being there 'yet again' in their words.
problem is.....she hasn;t........but if you add us ALL up, we have, what with us all being injured in the car accident last october, and DS2 swollowing a glass pebble a few weeks abo etc.
now....are they lumping us all together and making DD1 bear the brunt of their 'issues', or am I reading too much into it.......
arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
sorry, more issues here than needed
do I take her in this morning or wait??? either way......got to go with all five as DH is going to be at work constantly except evening, and bank hol evenings will bring in all the drunks so that will mean direct avoidence!!!!
