Happy freakin' birthday - Page 3

Nowadays they like to wait for the swelling to go down before they apply a cast. On some fractures they will just use a splint, but either way you're probably not going to want to take the chance of her being injured worse, and it's unlikely the school or the facility will either. Maybe you, the school and/or Sea World can come up with something special to help her feel better about missing out on this.

However, I can imagine wrestling in a wetsuit.

In a pool of Jello.

When she gets better, bring her here to Hawaii. I'll comp her a dolphin (or ray, or sea lion) swim from Tiki. I'd be heartbroken if something like that happened to Alice. Wishing her a speedy recovery!

I may have to take you up on that. There's Hawaii talk for next summer, but I don't know if it will materialize.

Sigh. It is now official. She is in a cast. She had tears running down her cheeks as they were putting it on.

Maybe she'd feel better if she heard the story of our poor 4 year old step niece who just had to have her finger sewn and her fingernail sewn back on all with inadequate anesthetic. Poor girl went through hell.

Yikes. Misery does love company.

On the same day she broke her arm, her 2 year old cousin dislocated his elbow. Doesn't sound as painful as your poor little niece, though.

The book I am reading has an account of two root canals on the front teeth, a cavity and 2 crowns on the side teeth all being done without anesthetic. Nothing will seem bad anymore now that I've read that.

I've got a friend who refuses to take anesthetic for dental work. I'll never understand it.
