[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 568197, member: 84"] Someone would've had a piece of my mind, and I'm not so sure I could've pulled it off tactfully. That is a total DUH situation. When Travis broke his arm at school in the first grade the nurse didn't think he was hurt very badly. In fact, she thought he was being a "cry baby" and ONLY called me because he would not stop crying. A crying Travis was a rare thing, but LOUD. I could hear him in the background........I told her it was obvious by the sound of his sobs that he was in pain. I went to the school, looked over his arm. Swollen but not yet to the black/blue point......but it was crooked. Granted, not much, one had to know what to look for.....but it should have been obvious to her. I took him to the ER at children's. Broke both bones in 2 places each. Oh, yeah......the kid was just fine. omg She and the principal got a colorful piece of my mind. I was less harsh on the Principal, wasn't his fault.....but he should've hired a more competent nurse. (there were many other incidences later that I also went to him about, as did other parents) His teachers, since the kid had a cast to his shoulder, had other children volunteer to do his writing for him until the swelling was down and he was comfortable doing it himself which only took a day or two. Usually teachers are more understanding. sheesh Although they seem to be less so unless they see an actual cast. Dunno why. But in jr high I had a green stick fracture of my right arm (bent not a break break) it was braced and bandaged. I discovered that I'm ambidextrous due to it as I was still required to do all my own work. Not a so good way to find out you can write nearly as well with your left hand as your right. The muscles weren't used to it and cramped horribly although the writing itself was fine. ugh [/QUOTE]
