When my kids were young (close to toddler age), I was constantly talking risk management talk about them… They didn’t have the motor skills to really avoid even the simplest of accidents.

But now that they are both over 6, I’m not as worried overall. My son is fairly agile and quick when he want to be. My daughter isn’t so much, but she’s clever and cautious. I’m surprised that she even had this accident…

I’m glad that she was not hurt badly. I have an almost three year old and it is my biggest fear.

There was a girl that fell off a swing in my neighborhood and she hurt her wrist but didn’t make much of a fuss. After a week of complaining, and it still being swelled up, they finally took her in and it turned out that she broke both wrist when she fell.

I think they didn’t think it was a big deal because the girl didn’t cry and her wrist still moved.

Yours sounds like it was a bit more obvious. I’m glad to hear your parents finally got it fix! I couldn’t imagine the pain that you had to go through!!!

my folks never took me to emergency room or a doctor. once when i was in grade school, my older brother broke my finger and it was twisted everywhere. it was CLEARLY broken. no doctor, no hospital, until one of my teachers saw how badly bent my finger was and sent me to nurses office. they called my parents and told them i need to go see a doctor. LOL, after over 1 week of being broken, i finally received a cast on my hand.

Thanks Sam! It’s really rough seeing your kids get hurt, especially bleeding…

Personally, I’ve been to the ER at least three times, mostly from broken bones.

Glad she’s OK mate! Only been to the ER once, and it was when my ankle got crushed, and it was the weekend.

Stay safe!

Yep, that’s every parent’s nightmare! I remember bike riding and a younger friend had an accident. His chin looked horrible, and I think he lost a tooth.

I know they took him to the hospital for it, I’m sure it cost a pretty penny.

It’s amazing how expensive medical bills are anymore! They must have taken xrays?…

Glad to hear she was okay, your daughter’s accident sounded much worse than my daughters!

Back injuries are weird! Sometimes they don’t start hurting bad until the next day…

Sorry to hear that about your sister! Back injurys are a tough one!
