Some things never change...
Jul. 2nd, 2017 06:59 am So, my daughter has always been accident prone. The slightest unevenness in a pavement and she was always the one to trip over it. She has a scar on her forehead from where she collided with a concrete step whilst running around the school playground on a wet day. On Friday, she fell face-first into the pavement and chipped off half a tooth, and has a fat lip. I'm guessing it happened too quickly for her to put out her hands (although apparently she did have time to think 'Oh, fuck!'). She has escaped unscathed, otherwise, though. A small scrape on her knee but no other damage to her face.
The emergency dental service wouldn't see her because they consider the damage cosmetic, so she's going to have to try to see her local dentist ASAP. The walk-in centre in town told her there's no infection in her lip, she just has to wait for it to go down. I suspect the dentist won't be able to do much with her lip the way it is but at least they'll be able to get a plan together for how to deal with the tooth. And her work have been really nice about it and are letting her book a week's holiday at short notice while the lip goes down.
So, she's a bit frustrated - mostly with herself for falling over whilst sober - but she'll live.
Yesterday was supposed to be all about the grandson going out and spending his birthday money with his mother - who he rarely gets to spend 1-on-1 time with on a Saturday. Instead, he and I went shopping whilst the daughter sat in the walk-in! If I'd realised how quick she was going to be, I would have waited for her. But going through town with the two of them is like the old days when I had two children, both too old to hold my hands and both making their own sweet way through the crowds!
Anyway, the grandson got quite a good haul - full Liverpool kit for 2017/18 (shirt from our son - with name, number and badges - shorts and socks from his own money), Nike t-shirt and shorts, a very small 'man bag' type thing and a bike pump! And he has more money to come and my parents will no doubt take him into town, too, when they're back from their cruise.
Today, I'm giving a talk in church on my favourite Bible passage. That'll be fun!
