So last Thursday I got a call from the school about 10am. The nurse said, "We have Savannah here. She ran into a pole while at recess today" She is pretty banged up, but I don't think she needs stitches. She says that she is feeling okay, so I am going to send her back to class. I just wanted to let you know because she will be pretty bruised up." At this point I am thinking, why do they have random poles out on the playground, and why couldn't my daughter see it before she ran into it. Then when she go home and explained the story I understood.
She was apparently playing "cops and robbers" on the playground which has sand. It was not a random pole she ran into, it was a pole like a fire pole or a pole that holds the monkey bars up. Anyway, she turned one way and thought she had missed the pole, which she did but she hit the other pole. Thankfully no stitches were required, and she is mostly back to normal now, a week later. Her ear is still just a little tender.
