Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, it was fresh, remember, like it was

27
00:01:28,081 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 3: so fresh, I think I'd slept on it and everything.

28
00:01:30,881 --> 00:01:32,321
Speaker 3: And then as soon as I saw you, I was

29
00:01:32,401 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 3: just like, ah, like this is happening.

30
00:01:34,401 --> 00:01:35,041
Speaker 1: You were triggered.

31
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,081
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then you just backed me up and supported

32
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 3: the cause and said that your daughter had done the

33
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,481
Speaker 3: same same We're all the same thing. And then one

34
00:01:44,521 --> 00:01:46,481
Speaker 3: of the other girls comes through and says, that's why

35
00:01:46,481 --> 00:01:48,521
Speaker 3: I told you to buy the six dollar lunch boxes

36
00:01:48,561 --> 00:01:52,441
Speaker 3: from Aldi. Oh did you know no Bento boxes? Six

37
00:01:52,481 --> 00:01:56,041
Speaker 3: dollars from Aldi? Ah, so much better, good quality. Yeah,

38
00:01:56,081 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: and she said, and then you can get a couple

39
00:01:57,721 --> 00:01:59,521
Speaker 3: so when they lose them, we just take another one

40
00:01:59,561 --> 00:02:02,241
Speaker 3: out of the cupboard. Yeah, okay, Amanda, you were far

62
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:23,001
Speaker 3: birthday party, which was like an inflatable world obstacle course

63
00:03:23,081 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 3: back on the water.

64
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,081
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, you didn't actually have works.

65
00:03:28,161 --> 00:03:31,280

00:03:31,321 --> 00:03:32,361
Speaker 3: went cat footage.

67
00:03:32,441 --> 00:03:36,521
Speaker 1: Yeah, in case no one believed you.

68
00:03:37,601 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 3: There's been a few times where you've questioned me and gone,

69
00:03:39,761 --> 00:03:41,801
Speaker 3: you weren't really there, were you? You were just no?

70
00:03:41,881 --> 00:03:43,401
Speaker 3: I wasn't. I promise, No, I don't know.

71
00:03:43,521 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: It was one of those situations where someone went, could

72
00:03:45,961 --> 00:03:47,521
Speaker 2: you cover my shift, and you went.

73
00:03:47,441 --> 00:03:50,001
Speaker 3: Yeah, i'll do it. I'll take a whole day. How

74
00:03:50,041 --> 00:03:55,161
Speaker 3: many shifts can I have? So yeah, off they go

75
00:03:55,201 --> 00:03:57,521
Speaker 3: and they do that. That's all well and good. Now

76
00:03:57,681 --> 00:04:01,361
Speaker 3: this day in particular was really windy, and this obstacle

77
00:04:01,401 --> 00:04:04,121
Speaker 3: course is an inflatable one which is on open like

78
00:04:04,201 --> 00:04:06,401
Speaker 3: it's on the sea, like it's not in a lake.

79
00:04:06,801 --> 00:04:09,481
Speaker 3: This is actually on the beach. So there was like

80
00:04:09,561 --> 00:04:13,201
Speaker 3: white peak like surf breaking and this whole thing's going

81
00:04:13,361 --> 00:04:17,721
Speaker 3: like I'm talking like my niece whose birthday, buddy it was.

82
00:04:17,921 --> 00:04:21,081
Speaker 3: She vomited out on the course twice because you had seasick,

83
00:04:21,121 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 3: but she just kept going, oh god, that's how rough.

84
00:04:23,641 --> 00:04:27,121
Speaker 2: It was so big inflatables, but they're out in the ocean.

85
00:04:27,201 --> 00:04:29,001
Speaker 1: But is it like protected by anything.

86
00:04:29,121 --> 00:04:31,521
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know. I didn't like in red clears.

87
00:04:31,401 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: What happens if they just fall off the edge?

88
00:04:33,241 --> 00:04:35,641
Speaker 3: I know they have to swim back or something. I'm

89
00:04:35,681 --> 00:04:38,521
Speaker 3: not sure. It wasn't there the wave teket Yeah, yeah,

90
00:04:38,561 --> 00:04:40,161
Speaker 3: you have to do anyway, even if you're on that.

91
00:04:40,281 --> 00:04:42,481
Speaker 3: The one at the like at the Sunny Coast that

92
00:04:42,481 --> 00:04:46,041
Speaker 3: we've done before is really like challenging. It's not even windy.

93
00:04:46,081 --> 00:04:50,361
Speaker 3: It's not even rough. It's challenging full stop. All went well,

94
00:04:50,561 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 3: Like I said, a few of them had little bombs

95
00:04:52,761 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 3: here and there that had seasickness, so I would have

96
00:04:55,641 --> 00:04:59,201
Speaker 3: been a treat out there. Then Gracie said she heard

97
00:04:59,241 --> 00:05:02,121
Speaker 3: the buzzy go and that means you've got to come

98
00:05:02,161 --> 00:05:04,401
Speaker 3: in for the next session to start. And she said

99
00:05:04,401 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 3: she sort of went to turn around. Her foot has

100
00:05:08,361 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 3: gone one way, her body has gone the other way,

101
00:05:10,561 --> 00:05:12,361
Speaker 3: and a wavers caught her at the same time.

102
00:05:12,561 --> 00:05:14,721
Speaker 1: Oh god, this place sounds horrible.

103
00:05:15,001 --> 00:05:17,361
Speaker 3: Yes, So then my brother is out there, Luke, Like,

104
00:05:17,481 --> 00:05:19,961
Speaker 3: Uncle Luke's like, come on, you'll be fine, like knowing

105
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,721
Speaker 3: that sometimes with Gracy girl it can be a little

106
00:05:23,721 --> 00:05:26,481
Speaker 3: bit of drama that's spun on it, and so he

107
00:05:26,561 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 3: was like, come on, oh, you'll be right, And he said,

108
00:05:28,401 --> 00:05:30,401
Speaker 3: I felt bad because I was like just ushering in,

109
00:05:30,521 --> 00:05:32,441
Speaker 3: going you'll be fine. It's you know, it's just you've

110
00:05:32,521 --> 00:05:33,721
Speaker 3: hurt your little toa. It's fine.

111
00:05:33,801 --> 00:05:35,041
Speaker 1: So he was on the course.

112
00:05:35,201 --> 00:05:36,681
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was out there. He had to be because

113
00:05:36,681 --> 00:05:39,201
Speaker 3: you to have a number of like adults per child

114
00:05:39,281 --> 00:05:42,841
Speaker 3: when they're under a certain age. Lucky Uncle Luke.

115
00:05:43,041 --> 00:05:46,641
Speaker 2: Yeah, was this like almost like a punishment for him

116
00:05:46,681 --> 00:05:47,481
Speaker 2: not having kids.

117
00:05:47,561 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, here you go, he said.

118
00:05:48,921 --> 00:05:51,481
Speaker 3: He felt a bit like motion sickness too. He was

119
00:05:51,561 --> 00:05:54,121
Speaker 3: like it was hectic. He's like, it was so crazy

120
00:05:54,121 --> 00:05:57,081
Speaker 3: out there. They all had fun, but poor Gracie's pulled

121
00:05:57,161 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: up with the injury. That's all well and good. Now

122
00:06:00,001 --> 00:06:01,961
Speaker 3: by the time I get home from a massive day

123
00:06:01,961 --> 00:06:05,921
Speaker 3: at work, I'm rocking in. Yeah, no, it really was,

124
00:06:05,921 --> 00:06:08,521
Speaker 3: I promise. I was super tired. But at the same

125
00:06:08,521 --> 00:06:11,281
Speaker 3: time I come home to then seeing my child on crutches.

126
00:06:11,681 --> 00:06:13,721
Speaker 3: Oh god. And I looked at it and I was like,

127
00:06:13,801 --> 00:06:16,761
Speaker 3: this is really necessary a little toe. Come on, dar,

128
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 3: you don't need that. Just try and apply a little

129
00:06:18,521 --> 00:06:20,401
Speaker 3: bit of pressure on the inside of your foot to

130
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,241
Speaker 3: carry the outside. We will put it up breastt all

131
00:06:23,241 --> 00:06:23,841
Speaker 3: the other stuff.

132
00:06:23,921 --> 00:06:25,161
Speaker 1: Suck it up, have a glass of water.

133
00:06:25,361 --> 00:06:28,681
Speaker 3: Yeah. So then Monday morning comes, no pressure being applied

134
00:06:28,681 --> 00:06:32,001
Speaker 3: to foot, and it was not getting better, Like it

135
00:06:32,041 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 3: didn't look any better. It was actually looking like it

136
00:06:34,401 --> 00:06:37,921
Speaker 3: was getting worse. But because it was the start the

137
00:06:37,961 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 3: first day of the second week of high school, one

138
00:06:41,641 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 3: couldn't miss out. So if we go to high school,

139
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,681
Speaker 3: which her high school is full of stairs and so again,

140
00:06:47,761 --> 00:06:49,841
Speaker 3: because we're both learning the ropes. I didn't know that

141
00:06:49,921 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 3: I needed to tell any teachers that she's on crutches.

142
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,281
Speaker 3: I also didn't know how definitive this whole school was

143
00:06:58,601 --> 00:07:03,481
Speaker 3: via stairs. Tough situation to be on crutches. Yeah, it'd

144
00:07:03,521 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 3: been a whole day at school looking worse for whar

145
00:07:07,641 --> 00:07:09,321
Speaker 3: I was like, put to my ice on it. You'll

146
00:07:09,361 --> 00:07:11,041
Speaker 3: be fine for your foot up. It's a broken toe.

147
00:07:11,121 --> 00:07:13,841
Speaker 3: We can't do anything with it. Worst case scenario, broken toe.

148
00:07:13,921 --> 00:07:16,561
Speaker 3: You don't do anything with a broken toe, no up

149
00:07:16,601 --> 00:07:18,441
Speaker 3: than rest and strap it.

150
00:07:18,601 --> 00:07:21,761
Speaker 2: So we did that, probably not walk up and downstairs

151
00:07:21,841 --> 00:07:22,641
Speaker 2: at school.

152
00:07:25,401 --> 00:07:28,521
Speaker 3: Anyways. And then comes a Tuesday. I said to her, look,

153
00:07:28,601 --> 00:07:30,641
Speaker 3: just stay home. No, no, I've got to go to school.

154
00:07:30,801 --> 00:07:33,121
Speaker 3: I've got to go. So I thought, why am I

155
00:07:33,161 --> 00:07:35,321
Speaker 3: going to get an X ray for you? If? Anyway?

156
00:07:35,561 --> 00:07:40,001
Speaker 3: Long story short, telehealth doctor calls me really nice, really

157
00:07:40,041 --> 00:07:45,681
Speaker 3: lovely gentlemen, So what foot is it? I was like.

158
00:07:49,921 --> 00:07:50,481
Speaker 1: One of them.

159
00:07:50,641 --> 00:07:53,881
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, that's a good question. I can

160
00:07:53,881 --> 00:07:56,161
Speaker 3: feel him judging me through the phone.

161
00:07:56,401 --> 00:07:58,041
Speaker 1: Why does it even matter what foot it is?

162
00:07:58,081 --> 00:07:59,801
Speaker 3: Because he goes, I can't give you an X ray.

163
00:08:00,161 --> 00:08:02,561
Speaker 3: Consult thing to take to get an X ray if

164
00:08:02,561 --> 00:08:05,161
Speaker 3: I don't have the exact foot that's on that. I

165
00:08:05,201 --> 00:08:07,041
Speaker 3: was like, there's no need to be rude about that.

166
00:08:07,121 --> 00:08:08,721
Speaker 3: It's not my fault that I can't think about what

167
00:08:08,761 --> 00:08:10,961
Speaker 3: foot is broken of hers right now. I just can't

168
00:08:11,001 --> 00:08:12,761
Speaker 3: think if it's left or right, and it goes well,

169
00:08:12,761 --> 00:08:15,681
Speaker 3: I can't give you the consult form then until you

170
00:08:15,721 --> 00:08:18,401
Speaker 3: get me the right foot, so judge it.

171
00:08:18,481 --> 00:08:20,721
Speaker 1: Can you just write on can you just put foot

172
00:08:20,921 --> 00:08:22,361
Speaker 1: X ray? Like TBC.

173
00:08:25,521 --> 00:08:27,801
Speaker 3: I could hear him, I could hear the judgment. It

174
00:08:27,921 --> 00:08:30,081
Speaker 3: was like seeping through the phone. And you know when

175
00:08:30,121 --> 00:08:33,841
Speaker 3: you like feel someone's judgment, especially about parenting, you're already

176
00:08:33,921 --> 00:08:36,561
Speaker 3: like like, it just gets you like wild. It doesn't

177
00:08:36,561 --> 00:08:38,161
Speaker 3: take me much to get over that, but I just

178
00:08:38,241 --> 00:08:40,201
Speaker 3: literally get wild. And then I was like oh, and

179
00:08:40,241 --> 00:08:42,761
Speaker 3: then thinking in my head, I'm trying to strategize how

180
00:08:42,841 --> 00:08:44,801
Speaker 3: I'm going to work out which foot It was whilst

181
00:08:44,881 --> 00:08:46,321
Speaker 3: keeping him on the phone because I said, I'm not

182
00:08:46,321 --> 00:08:47,601
Speaker 3: going to be able to speak to him again. You

183
00:08:47,641 --> 00:08:50,281
Speaker 3: can't ring a doctor back like that. There's another whole

184
00:08:50,281 --> 00:08:53,281
Speaker 3: process in itself. So it's like trying to think where

185
00:08:53,281 --> 00:08:55,481
Speaker 3: would her other shoe be because she's I knew she

186
00:08:55,521 --> 00:08:57,921
Speaker 3: went to school with one shoe on but only a

187
00:08:57,961 --> 00:08:59,201
Speaker 3: sock on the other. So I was like, if I

188
00:08:59,201 --> 00:09:01,801
Speaker 3: can just find that shoe, for the love of God,

189
00:09:02,001 --> 00:09:05,321
Speaker 3: I could not find the shoe. I was like, he goes,

190
00:09:05,321 --> 00:09:06,841
Speaker 3: I have to go. I'll tell your health a point.

191
00:09:07,561 --> 00:09:09,921
Speaker 3: I was like, yep, no worries. I'll find out the

192
00:09:09,921 --> 00:09:12,281
Speaker 3: foot that's broken on my child and I'll come back

193
00:09:12,281 --> 00:09:12,401
Speaker 3: to you.

194
00:09:12,641 --> 00:09:16,121
Speaker 2: I've literally paid no attention. I told her to suck

195
00:09:16,161 --> 00:09:17,481
Speaker 2: it up, keep hopping.

196
00:09:17,801 --> 00:09:19,601
Speaker 3: Was it actually just before you go? I was like,

197
00:09:19,721 --> 00:09:21,521
Speaker 3: and just in case we don't catch eatail and I

198
00:09:21,561 --> 00:09:24,241
Speaker 3: don't get the X ray, let's just say worst case

199
00:09:24,241 --> 00:09:27,161
Speaker 3: scenario if it is broken. From a doctor's perspective, much

200
00:09:27,281 --> 00:09:30,721
Speaker 3: can be done for those sorts of situations. He was like, Rachel,

201
00:09:30,721 --> 00:09:32,561
Speaker 3: we need to know if it's broken or not to

202
00:09:32,601 --> 00:09:36,161
Speaker 3: give you the right the directions, like the right instruction.

203
00:09:36,281 --> 00:09:38,001
Speaker 3: You know. I mean, but it's like kind of like

204
00:09:38,041 --> 00:09:40,841
Speaker 3: strapping it would be good, right, strapping it and keep

205
00:09:40,881 --> 00:09:43,881
Speaker 3: elevating it. Doing that can't do much for a little toe.

206
00:09:44,401 --> 00:09:46,801
Speaker 3: He's like, again, I'll speak to you when you work

207
00:09:46,801 --> 00:09:48,401
Speaker 3: out which foot it is of your child.

208
00:09:48,641 --> 00:09:54,281
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, yeah, side story on that. My

209
00:09:54,441 --> 00:09:56,921
Speaker 2: sister when she was about four, broke her leg ice

210
00:09:56,921 --> 00:09:59,841
Speaker 2: skating and my dad took her to the hospital and

211
00:10:00,001 --> 00:10:02,321
Speaker 2: they x rayed the leg and they were like, no,

212
00:10:02,441 --> 00:10:05,881
Speaker 2: she's all good, Like she's fine, good to go, got

213
00:10:05,881 --> 00:10:07,801
Speaker 2: in the car. My sister went, why did they x

214
00:10:07,881 --> 00:10:11,161
Speaker 2: ray the other leg? My dam was so embarrassed. He

215
00:10:11,241 --> 00:10:13,721
Speaker 2: took her back to another hospital, a different one, so

216
00:10:13,761 --> 00:10:14,401
Speaker 2: he didn't.

217
00:10:14,121 --> 00:10:14,841
Speaker 1: Have to go back.

218
00:10:15,001 --> 00:10:18,281
Speaker 3: I think Katie I would do the same. I'd be horrified.

219
00:10:18,521 --> 00:10:21,641
Speaker 3: I was horrified at myself two days with this child

220
00:10:21,761 --> 00:10:24,641
Speaker 3: with the same broken foot, and I couldn't work out

221
00:10:24,641 --> 00:10:26,441
Speaker 3: which food it was. And I'm thinking, I'm trying to

222
00:10:26,441 --> 00:10:28,761
Speaker 3: picture in my head, like if I was facing this

223
00:10:28,801 --> 00:10:31,481
Speaker 3: way and she was facing this way, what I was like.

224
00:10:33,001 --> 00:10:34,281
Speaker 1: You know, let's look at the positives.

225
00:10:34,281 --> 00:10:37,921
Speaker 2: You didn't have to go on that god awful in

226
00:10:37,961 --> 00:10:38,801
Speaker 2: the ocean.

227
00:10:38,641 --> 00:10:40,761
Speaker 3: You know. I felt sorry for Gracie.

228
00:10:40,841 --> 00:10:44,801
Speaker 2: But what's happening next year for Sophie's party? If it's

229
00:10:44,841 --> 00:10:47,281
Speaker 2: at the same place, another day of busy work.

230
00:10:49,601 --> 00:10:52,441
Speaker 3: I'll be working. You're not even rosted. I'll be working.

231
00:10:53,401 --> 00:10:54,241
Speaker 3: Don't even ask me
