This Lesson is Drilled In!

Last Thursday Rider sees the drill up on the island in our kitchen. It's a battery operated one, and it's heavy. He goes to pick it up and then it slips through his fingers. Lance Albern watched the whole thing. The drill (Phillips) end goes right through Rider's biggest piggie. It doesn't just poke in, but goes all the way through, there is an exit wound on the other side of his toe! It goes through the back of his nail through his quick (I don't know how to spell that one?). But it pulls up and cracks the nail in half. Fat is bulging out, and it's a bleeder! We take him to the ER. It was handy that dad was working there that night. I didn't have to wait the usual 3 hours! I got to go though the special (back) door and dad took care of him the whole time. We had an X-Ray taken. No waiting...I feel spoiled now! When the X-Ray came back it showed that the drill chipped the tip of his "big piggie" (I think that's proper medical terminology-for moms!) bone and there were fragments that had moved up towards the exit wound, or "the other boo boo." It was nasty! As you can see in the picture it has healed very quickly! He jumped on the trampoline the very next day! I have to say, Rider was feeling spoiled that he could have is very best buddy also be his very best doctor! I really would like to try hard not to HAVE to visit dad at work. But this one worked out just fine!! PS- We are changing the jingle to "this little piggie went to the ER!"
