“Gimme A Break Man!”
We had a trip to A&E (Accident and Emergency) with Hope last Friday because she had fallen and hurt her arm. They x-rayed it, said nothing was broken and sent us home. Well she carried on as normal went to school all week, then yesterday morning she said her arm was still sore so Gillian took the afternoon off work and made another trip to A&E. They took more x-rays and discovered that her arm was broken. This is not the first time we’ve had her at hospital and they’ve said she’s OK only to be told a few days later that she’s broken something. As Bart would say “Gimme A Break Man!”, a break from incompetent medical ‘professionals’, a break from hospitals, a break from breaks. Just when we thought Hope was doing so well (4 months since the last fracture), here we go again. Hope’s so brave though, she takes it all in her stride. She has to go back to hospital on Tuesday to see if they need to reset it. She wanted to go to school this morning because her class was going to the cinema to see Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. Here’s a picture taken before she left.
