FG got her new and improved cast today ~ it’s great! Thankfully, she only needs a cast around her wrist and not above the elbow. What a difference that makes. She gets re-checked in a month. The service at the Orthopedic Department today was outstanding. We were seen on-time and received quick, competent service. When the doctor heard how she hurt her arm, he said his son has been begging for heelys.
Later, as FG was getting her cast, we heard the following exchange in the next room:
Doctor: You mean you let your son wear heelys WHILE he still had a cast on?
Little boy’s Dad: Um, yes, his mom wanted him to try them on and he was in the kitchen.
Doctor: I’m having a disconnect here ~ while he STILL has a cast on?
Little boy’s Dad: unintelligible muttering.
Too funny. These heelys are getting a bad reputation in the Orthopedic world.

Yesterday I watched several kids roll on a plastic covered gym floor yesterday – only 1 fell – face first of course.
FG the bright red cast looks great! Where are the polk a dots? 🙂

FG looks great with her red cast! Good color choice for her. I hope she “heals” very soon (no pun intended:)
BTW, I wonder just how many kids have broken something from wearing those heelys. My boys are constantly asking me for them. They can barely walk on their own two feet without falling. Definatly no way now that I know what can happen.
