Today was the bottle episode of my life.
Spent the better portion of my day on the phone with tech support at BlueHost and Microsoft. Hubby’s law office email wasn’t working so I thought it be best if I moved his email hosting to a more stable server… Microsoft, go figure.
Well, the fun began around 12:30PM and I finally got an answer, not a resolution, around 3:30-4:00PM. I had to flake on my phone call with an old colleague to discuss film reopening in Canada.
Later, after we ate dinner, hubby went back downstairs to work and my kiddo went on FaceTime with her best friend, using my phone of course, because her iPad died. Greaaaaat.
I decided to take advantage of her being distracted by her friend that I started to work on paying some of our bills.
After hubby and kiddo were done with their respective activities, I realized I have not yet been outside today. I like to take advantage of the fresh air at least for an hour a day. I suggested we go outside for a little bit.
Of course, because I’m putting away the bills and hubby was indispose, kiddo whacked her forehead on something and started hysterically crying. We ran over to her and I noticed a huge gash over her left eyebrow. That GOD it wasn’t her eye. I cleaned it out and noticed, she needs stitches. It was clean cut through all of the layers of her dermis.
Off to pediatric urgent care we go. And how great could the timing be (sarcasm). I know that new covid patients are on the decline, but I was terrified of going. Hubby did call in advance to find out if we need an appointment or can we just walk in. Appointments for covid patients only.
We get there within 20 minutes. We’re seen within 5 min of getting there. The staff there is so kind.
Baby girl was so brave. First they needed to clean out the cut, which made her uncomfortable. She cried a little. Then I had to put some pressure on it to slow down the bleeding and oozing. Thankfully they said the cut was really clean, therefore she doesn’t need conventional sutures. They used surgical glue. She just has to keep it dry for 24 hours. Guess no bath tonight or tomorrow!
Now we are home.
Whenever I have to handle a major crisis, I jump to action and just do whatever needs to be done. Once kiddo goes to bed, I know I’m going to have a total breakdown.
No photos of the injury.
