BOYS

I spent 3 hours last night at A&E with Leon after he managed to get paint wedged under his nail at last nights parent evening (which went a whole lot better than i was especting after the trouble hes been having at school) only to be told at 10pm by the woman doctor that saw us togo home and it should come out by itsself i was so mad giving Leon his tea at almost 10.45pm last night well so much for that it was completely swollen this morning so i took him to the drs surgery this morning who sent us straight back up to A&E we were there just after 9am and when we seen the nurse after i had played hell with the reseptionist he said we would have about an hour and a half wait which didnt seem to bad. Well we went into the room to wait for the dr at 11am and waited there 40mins for the dr to come in and see Leon they wanted to give him an xray to see if there was paint in the lead before they took it out and then changed thier mind and decided to just take it out they tried as it was but it was just so sore they ended up having to give him two anasthetic injections in his finger my poor baby was so so brave with the first one but the second one was just too much and he started sobbing i was almost sobbing with him i felt so helpless but a few minutes later when it started kicking in he seemed to perk up a bit. The dr came back 10 minures later and cut off half his nail removed the paint that was stuck underneath and then the nurse came in and bandaged it up. The dr was a lovely young man and so patient and friendly with Leon he was lovely. Leon now has to take two lots of pain killers and i have to remove the bandage on sunday and see how it is. He didnt go back to school as i was advised to keep him with me and it was gone one when we got home anyway and he has to miss out on kick boxing this weekend but he has gone to cadets tonight to show off his bandage lol its on his right hand so im not quite sure how hes going to cope but i guess he will have to he informed me when we went out it was still asleep im just hoping its not too painful for him when it does decide to wake up.

  1. oh, poor boy!! At least they treated him... eventually.

    Didn't go that way for my daughter and her giant wood splinter one time. I had to use a teething gel and my sharpest stitching scissors at home. Immagine!... I don't have much confidence in our healthcare system. :o(
