Doctor’s Orders

Doctors have a very good way of making you worry when they tell you not to worry.

Aeyen had her 8th month check three weeks ago and they noticed an extra crease on her right thigh. I never really thought about checking creases so I was quite surprised when she told me about it. I was told that the extra crease may mean nothing however it could also mean hip dislocation or that her right leg is longer than the other.

The doctor checked her hips and declared they were fine. However, to make sure of things, she booked us in for an x-ray.

And she told us that there was probably nothing to worry about.

I hate it when doctors do that.

For the next two weeks, as we waited for the appointment, we observed the crease, measured her legs and tried hard not to think about it too much. But of course, I didn’t follow the doctor’s orders not to worry.

But then she was right.

We got the x-ray results and all is fine. Her little leggies are well.

She probably just has one leg fatter than the other!

That, I could live with.
