1 hospital

1 surgery (include 1 pin to rejoin broken off bone piece)

STEP 2 Make son fast from midnight for surgery.  Have doctors cancel the surgery in the early evening- but keep child in hospital on drip.

For most rapid results time recipe with holiday event such as Easter and another child's birthday.

 

OH Em....  you must be going out of your mind! 

I know it doen't seem like it right now.. but this too shall pass.. just be sure to take care of yourself through this because if you go down.. you know that the entire ship goes down.

I feel so bad for you.... wish there was a way I could be there to help..  I hope there are others around you giving you a hand somehow...

 

Thanks, you are right about the ship thing. 

What made it hard was my folks were away for an Easter break, but luckily my hubby's parents were in town and did a few school runs to mind the girls for us.

Em

Thank God there was at least some help... 

Oh Em....glad you can maintain your sense of humor!!  What is the delay with the surgery?  How did he do that?  How old is your son? Why do those things always happen at an inconvenient time?  Of course when can you conveniently break your leg....duh! One thing...they heal quickly, those youngins.  Will keep you both in my prayers and hope he's home soon.  Hang in there, Mom....it's part of the job description!!

Thankyou.

It's the Aussie way, we laugh at problems.

It was really stressful, and sadly it's not over yet.  He can return to school for another week and a half (when he gets a full cast). I hope he can catch up school work as he's 16.

Em

so sorry to hear about your stress and your son's injury! and the rediculousness it sounds like you went through with the hospital. i hope you get to de-stress soon. Speedy healing for you both!

I rang the hospital fracture clinic to book a review today and they said his records weren't entered on the hospital computer system yet! Talk about useless!

The GOOD NEWS is I am NOT having my surgery at that hospital! My surgery is through a private hospital... thank goodness.

Em

Eat some jelly beans! (joking) Seriously, this really sucks all the way around. my heart and prayers go out to you Miss Em. Hang in there. You'll make it through this just be patient and cry as often as necessary. Better to cry than eat.  Beth

(Hijack)... Beth.. I'm starting to worry about you with these jelly beans.. .lol
