Little Miss Bump

Bruised but Unbowed Yesterday she:

- stubbed her foot into a door
- banged her head on a door jamb (got a plaster out of that one)
- slipped on the floor forwards
- slipped on the floor backwards
- stood on a something in the garden

This morning Nicole observed that her foot was swollen up and she was hobbling around on tip-toes. So we booked her in at the doctor, from whom she wholly expected sweeties and so was quite enthusiastic.

Needless to say within ten minutes the swelling was starting to subside and normal walking service had been resumed.

All was well when we went to see the doctor and chit chat was had until he got out his "silly glasses" - a pair of spectacles with magnifying lenses sticking out on the front - at which she became very agitated and burst into tears.

However an electric singing and dancing hamster dressed as a doctor came out, then a jelly bean and soon she was back to normal.

The doctor reckoned either she'd been stung by a bee or bitten by an ant, so she'll be on antihistamines for a couple of days. But really she seems fine now, all that remains is the accidents for today.

    After a week of the above plaster being in situ I negociated for it to come down when Eloise bumped her left knee and "needed" another plaster.
