So did I, but that's because I got Bush to tap his phone line 'cause I heard Leo ordered Middle Eastern food once.

Hey, maybe as compensation for not being able to do the dolphin thing, Sea World will make an exception to that pesky "21 and over" rule for the free beer. That'd take care of the pain problem too!

Yep - Heather (her name, by the way), either to console me or to preserve her favorite thing at our house, told me that I shouldn't feel bad about giving them the trampoline. Accidents happen, she said.

We're still holding out hope. She wasn't able to get in to an orthopedist until Friday. Obviously, it if was super severe, they would have gotten it taken care of right away. If she can go 4 days without it being in a cast and only in a brace, why not allow her to go another week? The dolphin thing is on the 13th.

Oh, that doesn't sound like fun, AT ALL!

And it's not bad enough to get in a cast right away, but bad enough you have to see a bone specialist? I broke my (upper) arm when I was almost 10 and the regular doctor I went to go see was able to do everything, although I didn't need a cast (ok, yes, this was in the dark ages)

I hope you're going to be able to avoid the cast all together - or AT LEAST until she gets back from San Diego!

Ouch, that sucks - hopefully they'll find a way to accomodate her

That makes sense. I hear that falafel is very sphincter-friendly. :D

scaeagles?

Never had falafel. I don't know if I could name a Middle Eastern food. Maybe Roasted Goat?

You know, I think it's an insurance and a CYA thing. Her doc said she had to go see one to get a cast or whatever they make her do.

I can't imagine trying to wrestle myself into a wetsuit with an injured arm. It's hard enough as it is!

This is so sad for your daughter. Can you take her another time to make up for it?

Suckwad as this is ... do NOT jeopardize your daughter's health by postponing treatment for the sake of some dolphin interaction. (Getting into the wetsuit without morphine would be, as pointed out, nearly impossible anyway).


You're just going to have to bite the bullet and foot the bill for Heather and her friend to have 12 hours in the water with 17 dolphins at their private disposal. Or else, what kind of dad would you be????

Oh, I most certainly won't. I'll see what the orthopedist says on Friday. The way I see it, though, if it was so horrible, they'd have gotten it in a cast the next day.

I'm probably just holding out hope for her.


A dad who still owned a house?
