A 'Relieved' Hello again!

[zebedee]

I have been off Forum for a while because of a really scary event recently. My eldest son - who is a berloddy great thing - was at his Kung Fu class, doing some attack and defence moves with a younger student. He stumbled, spun around to break his fall, and managed to headbutt the only pillar in the room! Falling back, he threw out his arm to break his fall, and broke his wrist. He then hit the back of his head on the only piece of concrete floor in the room! He was takne to A& E, where the nurses began to treat his wrist. The guy who took him there mentioned about his head, whereupon they called a doctor, who took one look, ordered up an air ambulance and whisked our boy offf to a major neurological unit. From a simple fall, he had two brain haemorages, a fractured neck, a fractured coccyx, and his broken wrist!!!
Glad to say he is well on the mend, and whingeing about his cast on his wrist itching.
Kids, eh? Who'd 'ave 'em?

oh my zebedee, you have all been through the mill hey?! Glad he is on the mend though

[julesapple]

I always knew exercise was bad for you......!

Welcome back! Now that your boy is on the mend, I bet you're cream-crackered having realised what you've all been through. You need Vinetherapy now!

Sounds awful. Glad to read he's on the mend.

Oh lord, I remember when my eldest two were doing Judo. Never a tournament went by without injury of some sort, and some of the tournaments were quite a way away. It was awkward cos we used to go by coach (not many of us mums drove or had cars) and there was always the worry that one of the youngsters would be hospitalised.

Cripes! Thank God that they checked up rather than just dismissing it. Glad to hear than he's on the mend now. Welcome back to the fold

[Bren In Pots]

Sounds like you've all been through a scary time.

[WendyC]

Poor you. Fortunately kids seem to bounce back well, leaving the parents in a worse state!

[FionaH]

Flipping heck! Having had a rugger playing son you have my sympathies mate.

[Nicos]

Glad to hear he's on the mend

[Aberdeenplotter]

Poor you. Fortunately kids seem to bounce back well, leaving the parents in a worse state!

Unfortunately, the pillars that they head but don't

Hope that made you smile Zebedee. You've had a lot to worry about

[Creemteez]

Whoa! Glad to know he's healing up ok. May I suggest Stamp Collecting as a future hobby?......

[cardiffsteve]

Glad hes getting better.

[mothhawk]

Gosh! From pillar to post (-op)! Poor lad, but I bet he's lapping up the fuss, while you need a stress-buster

[mudpies]
