Photos! We need photos! At least a shot of the gruesomely bent arm and one of the X ray.
Bad news though; I know how it feels to see your own child injured. She will come though it fine.
Gti Junior is only 15 and so far we've had: one broken arm (very young, greenstick injury) one knocked himself unconscious by nutting a tree and one compressed vertebra from a ski jump. No long-term harm done.
No pic, she broke it a little above her elbow, the bone end was was pushing against her skin.
Waiting for 9 hous with a broken arm is crazy for an adult, even worrse for a 12 year old girl.
I guess you must have seen the triage nurse and been to X ray in that time though?
You must have been unlucky did loads of ambulances arrived and jump the queue.
It was awful for her, a lot of pain and not knowing how long it would last.................I do think when my wife and I swapped waiting duties something went "amiss" and she was forgotten within the system, even though of course we'd ask staff regularly............over 9 hours with her arm totally bust!
How did she break it? Falling off her bike?
Nope, she is like me, she has never fallen off a bike, she never falls, never has, till yesterday, as toddler she'd rampage around at speed, on the edge of disaster, but never actually fall, we called her the baby gyroscope. She did it simply by slipping off a wet rock and sticking her arm out to cushion her fall.
She is doing fine, had her op at 11am today, I'll be collecting her at 8.
and GWS from me.
