Hospital Post
I'm posting from the hospital via free wifi.
On Sunday, Aran dropped a four-pound freeweight on Sasha's foot. It hurt a lot. His little toe swelled up and was tender. Monday it was badly bruised, and by today (Tuesday), it was showing no signs of getting any better. So I decided he needed to be seen.
At the ER, we waited for quite a while in peds because there was a big emergency ahead of us. Sasha eventually was ushered in and examined, then taken to x-ray in a wheelchair, which he found slightly embarrassing. Then he came back and the doctor called up the x-ray on the computer, to Sasha and Mackie's fascination. His toe is indeed broken, though not badly. The nurse taped it, and now we're awaiting discharge.
Total elapsed time: two hours. Not too bad.
