Yesterday, I had a call from the Nursery. Nora had an accident while on a trip to the library. Three of her fingers got caught in the library lift door! The staff member kept apologizing and kept saying that Nora was so brave as she didn’t cry and was actually proud of her ‘war wound’, showing off her bandages to everyone who asks.
It looks bad today but I think we made a mistake by putting the antiseptic cream on her wounds and bandaged her up. Her wounds were then wet and now it looks pretty bad. So I’ve wiped them up again and bandage her dry. Hopefully it will get better and there won’t be too many visible scars
To cheer her up, today, I took her to the farm and also the National Trust park near by. It was full of muddy puddles and jumping in them and getting all messed up cheered her up considerably.
I bought her a wheelbarrow and some plants… and gloves to protect her little hands…
I don’t think she’ll be able to do much gardening this weekend as I don’t want her wounds to get infected… but I know she will try

Oh no, poor Nora
Wishing her fingers a speedy recovery!

Thanks. The fingers are recovering. But they do look very, very sore
