[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 568297, member: 7083"] When I was in the first grade, I broke my foot at morning recess. The school nurse and teachers didn't think anything was wrong and told me that I *needed* to walk on it to make it feel better because it was just a sprain. I didn't go to the ER until my mom got home after 6pm that night. I remember when I got home, I sat on the rug in front of the kitchen sink and just cried until my mom got home. My dad was home, but he was too busy accommodating his friends - another story. I didn't move at all because I was in so much pain - I didn't even get up to pee. My mom raised some kind of hell, I guess, because I got star treatment the entire time I was on crutches. I had an escort everywhere I went in case I needed help, and I couldn't do the stairs with the crutches so the principal himself would come to carry me up and down the stairs (no elevator). (That was a very big deal to have the *principal* carry you.) When difficult child was in the third grade, she collided hard with another kid then hit the gym floor at a before school extracurricular gym class. She told her teachers she was seeing two of everything on her papers and that her ears were hurting. They sent her to the office and they refused to do anything because she wasn't running a fever. Finally, after she had been to the office multiple times, the school called me highly annoyed because difficult child kept coming to them but didn't have a fever. This was in the after 1pm.
