Well done for rushing to the aid of your mum, Claire.
I'm rubbish in a crisis.
I do know how your mum feels though. When I was in primary school, I cut my head open too. Remember off ground tick?
One of the lads pushed me over by accident onto the edge of a stone step in the playground and yep, blood all over everywhere.
I just remember screaming my head off and they called my dad to take me to hospital where I had my head stitched.
One of the teachers came with us and she said she could hear me screaming in the cubicle from the waiting room!!!
I still have very slight scarring on my forehead where the stitches were.
I hope your mum is ok, tell her I sympathise with her very much.
