My littlest one broke his arm across both bones when he was about 7, it was literally just flopping around in all directions - I had to try and tend to him, hold his arm straight in the car on the way to hospital without heaving! He never even cried - I did! lol”
Oh gawd , what a nightmare . Yes , it's the flopping



Reminds me of when one of our pals who is rather prone to hysterics took her gran to A&E with a suspected minor stroke . Sat there waiting to be tended to and our mate took a huge panic attack , nurses came running to attend to her 'fit' and she was put on a trolley while dear old gran was left sat there beside her in a plastic chair holding her hand and trying to calm her down

. We still tease her about that . And yes , gran had suffered a minor stroke but is still around .
