Mace's little leg injury...

Have a mental list of things to blog about, but am absolutely exhausted! Mace hurt himself on a trampoline yesterday, resulting in him not walking... We went to the ER, because I needed to be sure about what was wrong, especially after the incident with his elbow... We waited for 3 hours, a long time for a 2yo through dinner time and well past bedtime!

The doctor felt quite dismissive, checking us out in the kids waiting area, saying that because he could bend his legs without crying and was in good spirits, we should go home and wait 2 days and go to the GP if he still can't walk... It just didn't make me feel any relief in his diagnosis... He is always in good spirits, regardless of pain, anyway she said she would write a letter for the GP, we waited for another 30 minutes for that, I asked what was happening as it was getting late, the nurses said to go home... Annoying, tired, stressed and by this stage livid, we went home...

This morning Mace was still crawling around... We went to the GP, after everyone I know just about giving us their diagnosis, and it is a soft tissue injury... Will last around 5 days, neurofen twice a day until then... Since being dosed up on neurofen, he is taking a few steps here and there... Relief doesn't describe it! Although I'm tired, carrying around a 15kg kid is draining, along with emotional  exhaustion, I am happy that its nothing major! No energy to blog though...
