A 'Satti' Head Injury

Hi Satti Small Tiger,

It's really an irony to hear about how your head was hit by your classmate.

Sometimes children don't realize the extend of their games.....just like how Timall and Puppykus back home don't realize the danger of their games when they slide down head first from the barber shop chairs at home.

Well, it's a superficial injury, and I guess it'll keep the kids in check for a while.

Remember son, when the games get rough at school, the really tough gentleman moves away from the scene.

Always proud of you anyway.

Hugs,
Big Lion

The Broken Nose

Dear Bumi Matha,

I broke my nose about 3 days ago. I achieved this by falling off the bed in Attai's house and landing on my nose.

Initially, Appa iced it, but after the blue black started spreading under th eyes, Amma had to take me for an X-ray and the ENT specialist confirmed that there is a fracture.


Congratulations, Sakkti Velan. * high-five*. This is a picture of me getting my cool X-RAY!

Now we have to take another X-ray in two months to confirm that the nose has healed=)

Sakkti Velan's first hospitalisation

On the 27th of October, I was hospitalized for food poisoning.

I’m not sure what I ate, and nor was Amma, but the doctor put me on drips for four long hours. Amma was so proud of me because each time I wanted to vomit, I could tell her, and she would rush me into the toilet so I could throw up. She said not many children my age could tell when they felt like vomiting….. (beaming)

I did not cry when the doctor administered the drips, nor did I cry when he took the needle out, but I was very uncomfortable the whole time the drips were on my hands.

I kept asking Amma to take them out, but she refused. I even asked Tata and Ammama to take it out but they told me other stories to divert my attention away from it.

I couldn’t eat for two whole days after the drips, and Amma was worried sick.
But I’m okay now, so now more worries, Amma….

Ouchh……….

I burnt my index finger on the incense stick my Amma was holding today. It stung a while and I howled. But Amma quickly applied a soothing cream on my finger.

I was angry with Amma for letting my finger be burnt, but I suppose I cannot hold her responsible for my actions. After all, I chose to touch the incense stick.

So after frowning at her all the while while she changed my wet napkin, I decided to bestow her with my million dollar four-toothed smile.


And then, it was back to my play. The rattler I had for my snack tasted really good!

Ayya's first fall......OUCH!

Baby Sakkti Velan,

Today you had your first fall while you were trying to reach for your bolster;  you fell down from the bed and landed on your forehead. I had a shock and screamed for Mina Pathi. You wailed.

Mina Pathi rubbed your forehead and the swelling subsided.

I shouldn't have left you on the bed even for that split second, baby. Yur were too quick for me...
