The Bravest little girl. Ever.

la_rainetteI know she's a drama-queen most of the time. But she is also the bravest little girl ever. My lovely Tadpole.
FUCK MY INCOMPETENT DOCTOR! AND THE HORSE HE RODE IN ON! SIDEWAYS AND WITHOUT ANY FORM OF LUBRICANT!
He called a few minutes ago. Turns out he "just found out" (my guess is someone else had a look at the X-ray and told him) that Tadpole's little finger is broken.
My Tadpole has been running around for 3 days with a broken finger. MY TADPOLE HAS BEEN RUNNING AROUND FOR 3 DAYS WITH A FUCKING FRACTURED FINGER THAT SHE KEEPS BUMPING INTO FURNITURE
And she still manages to be the loveliest little person ever. My Tadpole is wonderful.
And I am incensed. Fuming. See the steam rising from my ears. Am going to have her finger fixed, right now. He will put a plint on her finger. But if he hurts her in the slightest, I will cut his balls off and wear them as earrings. I swear. *grits teeth determinedly*
ETA: Huh. Had I known what putting a splint really was about, I'd have done it myself. It took ten minutes, the doctor wisely refrained from approaching me or Tadpole, and the lovely, friendly, COMPETENT assistant put the splint on her little finger. Tadpole observed with scientific interest and didn't complain until she was sent on her merry way with the damn thing on. Hey! Don't you take that off? What, you mean I'm supposed to keep it on? For two weeks? NO WAY!
Ech time she opens her mouth to complain I now stick in a piece of chocolate, and since she's not crazy, it seems to be working. So I'm still on my way for a week-end of female bonding.
Well. As long as it's not bondage, with la rainette tied to a tree to make sure she doesn't crawl all the way back to Toronto on her own, I guess I'm fine ;) I'll tell you all about it, Skye!

So I feel Tadpole's pain. (Or rather, her former pain. Reading back-issues of people's livejournals gives me a weird sense of time...)

If it took me that long to realize my little finger was crooked, it must be because it never bothered me. QED.
