Mum Injuries
I’ve had several ACC reports lodged by my Dr over the years (for non-NZ’ers reading along at home, ACC is the Accident Compensation Corporation, and if you injure yourself they partially pay for treatment, any loss of income etc. It’s not a perfect system, but it’s there). Some of my pre-motherhood reports from my Dr seemed outlandishly ridiculous: “Twisted ankle falling off curb in high heels” “Hurt neck falling off wakeboard” “Strained knee while avoiding a bee” (that one was my favorite). Since having the girls: “Strained shoulder from leaning over cot patting baby to sleep” “Bruised nose from being head-butted by baby” And as of yesterday: “Caught thumbnail while pulling up child’s gumboot. Nail bed now infected”. Rock n Roll.
