This evening Jayne had a phone call from one of our son’s friends. They said he had come off his skateboard and hurt himself, and said something about a bone sticking out… so she went off to take him to the hospital.
She stayed out for a few hours because the boy had to have several x-rays. He had scraped or ripped all the skin off an elbow, but the doctors were worried that he may have broken his hip. It turned out that the hip was not broken – just badly bruised – so she just had to wait around for his arm to be sewn up. Sixteen stitches it took, and a shot of morphine.
At least he was in better shape than the mouse which Jayne’s cat has just brought into the house! J went to the pet shop the other day to see if she could get a huge, loud bell for the cat’s collar to give the local wildlife a chance. The people at the shop said that there is something even better: a collar with flashing lights. Apparently they get one in per week and it always flies off the shelf. She might give that a try.
