So the orthopedist yesterday - well it was something. I've sent out a gazillion emails, updated facebook and whatnot, so I don't want to get into it all again. I'll just tell you this...
They had to set her bones while I was in the room. (May you NEVER have to go through that.)
The cast goes from her thumb to her armpit.
The cast is not waterproof. (Based on her type of break. SUCK SUCK SUCK!)
And thus ends my summer. True story.
Here's a pic I took of her in the office (with my cell phone) after they were all done with her and I had promised her everything short of a pony while they were setting her bones.
She got a purple cast because could you even guess based on the outfit that she likes purple?
Last night I gave her a bath with a trashbag on her arm. By the sound of her screams, you would have thought I was stabbing her with pins. She is upset by the weight of the cast, and the itchiness of the cast, and she "needs me to snuggle her". I know the smile in the picture above does not equate, but just ask Mike and Warren, they'll back me up. The whines, complaints and tears, they runneth over. And they are justified, by all means, but still, they are many in number.
No estimate on when we'll be done with this cast. We have our next appointment July 24th. Until then, you'll find me either:
1 - running away screaming from my house
2 - rocking in the corner, speaking in gibberish
3 - drunk in the daytime.
Hooray for summer indoors!
Oh my Lainey. I feel so bad for her! Wish it would have happened in the school year or something. Or not at all :)
