Guest guest Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Lynda What a catalogue! I thought Peter had been unfortunate. We had a spell of about four years when on every summer holiday we ended up visiting a hospital or doctor surgery, and another few years with hospital visits from accidents at home - but not as bad as yours. Jo - " Lynda " <lurine Tuesday, August 09, 2005 4:50 AM Re: Re: Nail Gun accident yup, spent 10 days in the hospital having packing put in and taken out twice a day and then 2 more weeks going into the office once a day to have it done. Nasty and painful! He said that next time he would listen to mummy. I said, there better not be a next time! This child has given me every gray hair I have and I have way too many! He started off by being a blue baby and stopped breathing on a regular basis for the first 6 months. At about two we came home from the grocery store to find that he snuck out of the house when the sitter wasn't looking and climbed up on the 6 foot fence and was walking the top 2 x 4. At 2.25 I got a frantic call from the sitter. He had managed to crawl up to the top shelf in her clothes closet and get into a locked box and eat her medications. At 2.5 he " borrowed " another little boy's 2 wheeled bicycle and took off riding it on one of the most traffic clogged streets in town (hey, Fraggle, that would be Santa Rosa, so you know what I mean about traffic). At 4.5 he went down a slide and sliced the instep of his foot on a broken beer bottle. 17 stitches. At 6 he was pushed into a metal pole and broke his front teeth out. At 7 he was playing Little League and had his hip joint bruised. Hmmmm, was 8 an o.k. year? At 9 he was speared in the back while playing Pop Warner. At 10 he went camping and another kid almost sliced off his little finger (more stitches). Oops, I was wrong. At 8 it was a concusion playing hockey at the local ice rink. Let's see, broke his little finger, groin pulls, hamstring problems, blew out both knees playing basketball, . . . . Would ya like to hear about Sons #1 and 2 %-} Ah, the joys of raising boys <<bg>> Lynda - Peter <metalscarab Monday, August 08, 2005 5:24 PM Re: Re: Nail Gun accident > Hi Jo > > > That was very quick, and terrible to lose his leg.
