My poor son had a fall at indoor soccer (on his face) as his legs got tangled up under him. I leapt up and ran to him as fast as I could and comforted him, but I knew it would be bad. Lots of blood, and upon inspection his front tooth was bent back. Took him to the emergency dentist and they did X-rays. Tooth was snapped/broken so they had to remove it. Root is still there, and it's a baby tooth so the adult tooth SHOULD eventually push that out and slot into place....but still, the poor lad was traumatized by the whole thing.

We took him to get a toy as he was super brave at the dentist, and he had some ice cream and other treats at home to help him feel better. Tooth Fairy visited him, so that's a silver lining he liked.

Poor mite, I hope he's okay.

Thanks. Yeah, he's a little trooper. Took the freezing needle with little to no fuss, and after an initial bout of crying from the injury itself, after that he was only crying about possibly losing his tooth...we reassured him that he had another permanent tooth to come in yet and not to worry....fun fact, you can SEE the adult teeth above the baby teeth in an X-ray at that age. It's macabre.

Ouch!
Glad he's ok.

My fucking double pedal died. Two pieces of drum gear that I can't afford to replace in the space of a week... The pedal might have a fix if I can find the part and then disassembly instructions but it's a huge hassle, especially when Aubzagl and Balgurra have gigs near the end of February.

Nothing wrong with some good old bin lids. I bet Tomas Haake or Gene Hoglan could make it work.

I do have some fixes for the pedal to try out at least, but whether it works remains to be seen.

Also given your username I'm sorta disappointed you didn't namedrop Warby!

More of a making me happy thing but I managed to fix the pedal, it was a buggering Allen bolt causing the problem! Got a key for it and tightened her up to the point she's tighter than Rishi Sunak when it comes to spending on the North.

It's a fair cop. I didn't want to go too obscure
