What was the worse injury you got as a child? As an adult?
As a child - cut my head open and had to have butterfly stitches. As an adult - a nastily sprained ankle which made me limp for about 3 weeks, I had to wear a support bandage thing. Touch wood I don't get anything any worse!
What is the worse injury you child(ren) have gotten and how?
When Daniel was a toddler, we had a cheap buggy from Argos. We used to live in a Victorian house with steep steps down from the front door to the road. The path next to the front door is pretty uneven. One day I was taking him out for a walk, and put the brakes on the buggy to stop it rolling while I locked the door. When I turned round the buggy was at the bottom of the steps tipped up. My heart was completely in my mouth. Luckily it was a rainy day and the raincover saved him from the worst but he had a bruised head and was in shock, couldn't stop crying, so I called an ambulance and got him checked out at hospital. The brakes were still in the on position on the buggy but it was clear they were completely useless. It got binned, and from then on I'd put Daniel's buggy in front of me while locking the door because I was so terrified of it happening again, even though it was really awkward to do so. Moral of the story? Don't buy cheap buggies!
