Ever Felt It Wasn't Your Day ?

[CuriousToyBoy]

Arrrrggggggghhhhhhh !!!!!

Just recovered from a week and a half with no net, fucked PC's and annoyance and frustration beyond belief as I watched my workload get further and further behind.

At least I would have watched it had I been able to get a PC to work let alone get on the internet !!!

But my trusty business partners constantly reminded me.

So.....

I get this whiz kid in over the weekend, he fixes everything, gets me back online and helps me recover all my data.

BRILLIANT !!!

Ready to go Monday morning and hit the ground running... HARD !!!

Monday up bright and early, kids off to school and kindy.

Sit down to get cracking.

And then the phone rings.

Monday 9.20am.

My little boy's Kindergarten. He has hurt his leg. Can I come get him.

OK, not too concerned, because they didn't seem too concerned, but still felt for the little bloke so hightailed down the road to get him.

Got there. Looked at leg. Rang ambulance. Damn! His leg was DEFINITELY broke and I couldn't believe they didn't just ring the Ambulance already !!!!

Anyways...

Ambulance arrives. Paramedics poke and prod. Mate screams.

Get to Hospital. Triage nurse pokes and prods. Nate screams again.

Doctor comes along - pokes and prods. Nate screams again, LOUDER.

Orthopeadic surgeon arrives. I scream. He leaves little fella alone and orders X-Ray. At last!!!

Down to X-Ray. Radiologist pokes and prods (she did try hard not too, but had to position the leg to check it all out), little guy screams.

Ortho checks out x-ray. Spiral fracture of the femur. Bad one. One of the worst he has seen apparently. 2 to 4 weeks in traction then 8 weeks in a cast from his chest to his ankles.

Can we bear in mind here that the poor little guy is only 4 years old.

Ortho orders pain relief (at LONG last), and lots of it.

Morphine injected, Valium and dazzle prescribed, little fella begins to settle down.

Surgeon asks if I would mind if he gave Nathan a nerve block in the leg to kill all feeling so they can reset it and put it in traction.

I told him if he didn't he had better give me one from the neck because if anyone else hurts my boy they will be in traction for a LOT longer than 2 weeks.

Ortho agrees and administers neural block.

They move Nate to the ward. Nurses there BRILLIANT. 5 of them reset, splinted and put leg in traction. Natahn balling his eyes out of course, but more from the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder of the entire mornings "post and prod" antics. Led set, traction up and he starts to settle down (more morphine and valium probably more to thank for that).

As an side, how come the Doctors do the easy stuff and then the Nurse's do the real job? Go figure.

By this time it is 4pm.

I leave and go and pick up out little girl, take her home, get her sorted, and take her to the hospital to see her little Bro. Take Maddy home. Put her to bed. Go back to hospital.

He has relaxed (drugs again!!) and Leisa has crashed and burned after watching her son get hammered all day long.

More X-rays show resetting, splinting and traction done it's job - leg straight and should heal well.

Thank God for small mercies - no surgery required.

11pm.

Now if only he would sleep.

What? Another problem?

He hasn't pissed all day. Drugs aren't helping (neither was the trauma of the day's events I bet). Distended bladder. No piss in next hour they need to use a catheter.

Hour passes. No action south of the border.

I almost needed restraints as I watched my little 4 year old get a fucking straw shoved up the eye of his penis with NO ANAESTHETIC. It is NOT for the faint hearted.

Broke my heart.

And his mother's.

All over for the night about 1am.

So Leisa is up the hospital with him pretty much fulltime (stays there at night) until he is out, and I look after his sister and get up there during the day so she can do some work and get out for a while.

So if you are chasing me over the next couple of weeks, please be patient and understanding.

I am just waiting for the next saga in my and my families life......

Very sorry to hear this

Thinking if that was my son I'd probably need to be sedated

Hope all is better as quickly as possible and your son has a full recovery very soon

[Nickatilynx]

Fuck , sorry to hear that mate.

Hope it all goes better.

Poor little mite.

[Trev]

Damn when your life shakes it shakes big time


I'm so sorry to hear this tragic news, I bet you and your wife are all but wiped out...

I hope the little-un recovers fast and as pain free as possible

If one of my children did it to me,
I would have broken his head!

Serge you are incorrigible !!!

And don't think the thought hadn't crossed my mind

Seriously, I think it's easy to get angry when you are frustrated, hence my vent about the medical guys who all did a pretyty damn good job actually, it was just me standing there like a dufus not being able to do anything to take away the little bloke's pain thast hurt the most.

Thanks for all of your kind thoughts - they are truly appreciated

Now my turn for the shift next to the hospital bed, feeding him lollies and chocs in the vain hope that that alone will make it all better.

Later guys.

Awww, poor little guy! I don't see why he has to be in an entire chest-to-foot cast though from a broken leg, but if it helps it heal faster...

Teachers did the same thing to me in grade school, but made me stay the whole day because they didn't believe I'd hurt anything. (Broken arm.) Didn't even bother to call my Mom even though I was crying my eyes out and clutching my arm to my chest.

Hopefully he'll heal up quicker than they expect, one thing about boys is they bounce well and heal even better!

Is this the talkin world war three blues....ok

My third party billing goes down on one of my sites....no big deal...my windows media server on their network crashes....no big deal....I figure so far I am down 15K.....still no big deal....I had blood tests two weeks ago....they think I may have cancer....a very big deal.....move servers for wm along with a bunch of other linux sites......major password attack on three of them....no big deal....go in for bone marrow biopsy that hurts like hell.....big deal.....now down about 30 K....no big deal....today I find out....guess what I am healthy.....Very Big fuckin deal...
Life is tough. I lose thirty K and it means nothing when you are facing the big C, let me tell you. I hope none of you have to go through that.
Glad your kid is fine.

What a sad story Lindsay
I felt it physically as I read it ;-(

hope he's doing better real soon

in the meantime, don't forget to look after you as well.

[Lisa]

Geez Lindsay...when I read the thread title I thought you'd just overdosed on the Friends theme.

And then I read the story...

Hope your little guy is feeling better, of course this is a golden opportunity for you to spoil him rotten.

BTDT with injuries to kids (tho none QUITE that serious, thank goodness). As Carrie said, the good thing about boys is they bounce back tougher (and more risk taking ) than ever.

so no rib damage from saturday I take it?!

Lindsay, don't let Nate play football LOL

[Lisa]

Some bruising...no perm damage. He can do fitness training Thursday, no contact work, and can play on Sunday if his pain level lets him, it's up to Dan to decide (and you know what that means ).

Funnily enough, my two boys have almost 12 seasons of rugby union between them, but it's my daughter Alex who's had the only broken bone.

[Winetalk.com]

my parents, both medical doctors,
somehow followed Nitzche who was outlawd in USSR:
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"

I was coming home from the street with holes in my pants, stuffed with ice and snow.....never had common cold when I was growing up.

Once when I wasn't ready for the test and told my father I was sick and can't go to school-
he told me I was full of shit.
I went to the doctor, the other doctor said I had...pneumonia!
When I got home, and told my father I have INDEPENDENT doctor conclusion that I was bona fide sick and can't go to school,
he took his stetoscope,
told me that BOTH me and that doctor are full of shit and the next day I went to school.

nope, I didn't have pneumonia, but I was acting good and knew all the dirty tricks
;-)))
