It's been a bad day for owies at our house. Gavin's were superficial but required plenty of TLC. Gavin calls hydrogen peroxide "brown water" because it is dispensed from a brown bottle. Hopefully time and Toy Story Band-aids will heal his wounds.
As I looked at this sad little picture for the first time, I had the fervent wish that all of my children's wounds could be so small and easily fixed. Emotional road rash is a much uglier beast. I wish I could protect their little hearts from the big bad world and keep them in the "kiss it better" realm of experience for a long time. I kind of wish I was still in that realm. *Sigh....*
But I digress.
At the breakfast table this morning, Garry reached for a gallon of milk and groaned in pain. The shelf-building shoulder strain that had completely disappeared suddenly returned with a vengeance. He was in so much pain this morning that he could hardly dress for the day. He saw a doctor who doesn't think there is permanent damage, but Garry is completely miserable. On the way home from work he bought a sling to immobilize his arm.
Ouch. All this makes the return of vomiting not seem quite so bad.

Oh, I'm sorry about the owies. Drat! Hope everyone heals really fast.
Both Gavin's and Garry's faces say it all! OW! We've had some emotional bumps and bruises around here recently, and while a kiss doesn't heal all, it's amazing how it does seem to help. Sorry to hear the barfing has returned. I hope it's only here for a brief stay brought on by a super busy/stressful weekend!
Oh, I think the return of vomiting is still pretty insulting. :/
But Garry must really be in a lot of pain to voluntarily wear a sling! Poor guy. Recurring injuries like that are just the PITS. You feel scared to try to do anything at all for awhile.
And I know Gavin's okay, so I hope you won't mind me saying that his pouty pink cheeks are just ADORABLE.
Oh dear! It sounds like you all have been through the wringer today. Hoping for a better day for you tomorrow!
So sorry about everyone's owie's. Garry, so sorry about the shoulder. Be careful. No heavy lifting for a while.
Sorry you're back to feeling yucky today.
Give Gavin a kiss from Grandma.
