Not for those with a weak stomach.........

The snapshots that are below are not for the faint of heart, or queasy stomachs.........so if you are........then please just stop reading now. Truly, no joke, no funny tricks.........it will be a snapshot of my grandson's horrid, horrid accident that took place over two weeks ago while he was visiting his other grandmother in Omaha.........thank goodness it wasn't on my watch. He was riding an oversize trike..........you know one of those super duper big ones.........well shoot, I can even ride it..........of course my knees are up under my double chin and the extra tires on my body are getting in the way of my hands on the handle bars (isn't that visual picture something that you want to forget?????) but they are good size..............he was wearing shoes.................ahhhhh, but grandma ran into the house for like 4 minutes to get something..........and 7 year old grandson for some unknown reason......guess you would have to be 7 to understand...........took off his crocs and........somehow, someway, he flipped and his heel got caught in or by the pedal.............this is the results
This was taken this morning, he had the stitches taken out yesterday (took four nurses to hold him down.........yikes........he is my grandson.........drama full blast). We have been told, that if it had been any deeper he could have lost the whole bottom of the heel........the other day he forgot to walk on his toes and he and I both almost tinkled our underwear!!!! The look in his eyes as the pain registered and me for wanting to take the pain away from him...........I can't imagine how long it is going to take for him to be able to walk on his foot............it doesn't slow him down much......did in the beginning, but like all youth, he has adapted and at this very moment he and his family are at Six Flags Fiesta.............hope they are having fun.................moi?, well I am off to the dentist's office for a deep cleaning .............oh please hold me down from the excitement of that!!!! May treat myself afterwards and go to Borders and look at books, like a grown-up...........you know, not saying "don't touch" "do you have $$.......then don't touch." or having to take the books I want to look at over to the children's section so they can play with the train section so I can look at the books (which isn't to bad really - except each time I want to change books out, I have to make them leave and then if there are other kids there, they lose their spot and then I have to hear the whining over that ...................you know what I mean if you have little ones). Hope today brings you some sunshine and at least one smile, better yet a big bunch of giggles!

Ohh poor guy! That had to have really hurt. It made my foot hurt just looking at it.
