Back to work, back to the doctor's
|
So yes . . . today I was back to work, the two week holiday over. The boys were playing up, messing about, so M**** took them to the shops, hoping to buy the ingredients for fairy cakes (or whatever they're called). On the way there, A****** somehow managed to trip over R******'s push-chair, falling onto the pavement, grazing his left elbow and getting a tiny little stone lodged into his arm in the process. Nice. I popped back to try to tweezer the thing out but A****** was making too much of a fuss. I dunno whether you can just leave these things in and let nature do its work or what . . . M**** rang the doctor's surgery for advice and they just told her to bring A****** in at 17:30. With the area suitably numbed via some magical local anaesthetic lotion, the doctor managed to pull the stone out, although it was quite deeply embedded and took a bit of a poke around to get out. But A****** didn't put up too much of a fuss, bless him.
