I am amazed at times how resiliant my son is. I’ve seen him fall flat on his face–hard–and then bounce right up with no damage done (well maybe a small bruise). Today we were having a bit of a pillow fight, he likes to jump on me and try to tickle me after hitting me with the pillow. Today at one point though he slipped off the pillow and his head collided with mine. When I say his head, I really mean his open laughing mouth collided with my open laughing mouth. Tooth on tooth collision. It really hurt like hell for me, yet he seemed entirely unfazed.
Tammy checked his mouth and his teeth very carefully–no looseness, no gum swelling, no fat lip, no bleeding. He swears it didn’t hurt either. Of course me, well I have one extremely loose tooth and one chipped tooth. Fortunately he is fine, and it wasn’t as bad as it could have been. Unfortunately we have no medical insurance, and can’t really afford any additional medical bills. I am going to be taking it very easy for the next couple of days, and eating a lot of mushy food I guess. Oh, yea!
I did check WebMD quickly to assess how bad it would be and was pleased to see that a non-profit organization I worked for for some time, Healthwise, is now their primary medical information database provider. If I could have stayed at Healthwise I would still be very happy in Boise. Good going Healthwise.
