Tried to do Christmas shopping today, but after spending a morning dragging Big J around the shops telling him to "put it down", "Leave that alone", "That's not a toy" etc... I decided to take a break for lunch and continue after we had eaten. As I sat in the car checking my mobile phone, I realised I had missed several messages from Little Z's school and one from Larry telling me that Little Z had fallen and hurt her nose and face and needed to be picked up. The last message was left at 11.50. I finally dashed, apologising repeatedly, into the school's office at 13.25. A trip to A&E resulted in us walking back out as soon as we had walked in as the place was full of people with more serious injuries who would undoubtably be seen first. A short car trip down the road took us to the NHS Walk-In Centre where the staff were helpful and friendly and where we were seen within 30 minutes. The result being that Little Z has cuts to her face which should heal in a week or so and a suspected broken nose which cannot be checked until the swelling goes down in approx. 10 days when we will have to phone for an ENT appointment which may then mean waiting another 2 weeks. In the meantime, she is more concerned with why people are staring at her,why she is not allowed to do PE for 2 weeks and whether she will still be able to do her ballet exam on 15th November.
