always on a Friday...

Got a call from Pre-school. Gracie had fallen off the see saw and landed on her elbow and could I please come at get her? By the time I got there, she was pretty upset - a bit of a worry. She's the one that doesnt cry....

A quick cursory musculosketal examination....(forcing my brain to reach back into the dark recesses of outpatient physio)...darn it..I guess it could actually be broken. Can I just plaster it myself and not get it xrayed? In retrospect, I should have just stayed with that thought.

Now is as good a time as any to become aqainted with the local health service. 5 hours later in casualty and actually regressing in the queue, I decided to give up. At least they had xrayed it. She had socialised with many casualty residents and knew their full medical history, given obvious advice that only a 3y.o can get away with.....found a few potential babysitters...hadn't been a total waste (right)? We'd attempt to actually SEE a Dr tomorrow.
