Poor baby.  How did she break it and how long will she have to be in a cast?

I think the exhaust on my scooter is going to fail soon :(

I'm torn between

How will you get away from the foreign spies chasing you?

 or

Does that mean you won't get exhausted?


I don't have much problem with foreign spies anymore. My days of international espionage are well behind me now.
People who don't quote properly annoy the hell out of me.  :zoinks:

It has been a really rough two days. My daughter still can not eat since she broke her arm.  (she throws everything up)

I am not sure how to help "fix" this part of her pain.

What is causing the throwing up, pain meds?  ???


She will not take pain meds or any meds of any kind.

I think it is the intense pain that is upsetting her so and her "brave little heart" that wants to keep up a strong fight against the "many"  pains she is just learning about. Hell, she is an "athelete"  and she can no longer ride her bike or play in gym or take her martial arts lessons or roughhouse with her daddy (although, I plan to tone my attacks down a bit and get her smashed up a bit as soon as she begins to heal some) or even bury herself in the sandbox.

The reality of her injury is just beginning to sink in for her and, if I was going to make a guess, she is sick because of the acceptance of it.

Poor girl. How long is the healing expected to take?  :(

We are lucky in that she is young and very strong and has the simplest kinf of fracture to her arm. Our doctor told us that he would be surprised if she is not out of her cast by around Halloween, but he told her to choose a color for her cast that will go with her Halloween outfit.

(when my arm was broken a while back - I was out of my cast in six weeks. Her bones are still soft and growing rapidly. She will heal more quickly,  everyone thinks)

She broke it wiping out on her bicycle. Doc says four to six weeks in a cast.

 :'(

(She is now nicknamed, "Crash,"  just for fun)

She came into the house wailing and all she could say was, "Daddy, I think I broke my arm!  I'm so scared!"


It took me a few minutes to calm her enough to even examine it, but my assessment was the same as hers (she has never been hurt in any way before, so the idea of having pain was very knew to her) and I got her ready for an emergency room trip as quickly as I could. It was swelling and very HOT, so I knew ice would be wise and I used the belt from my bathrobe as a sling, got her favorite stuffed toy to hold, favorite loud music for the car ride, and away we went.

I think ice was a good idea too.  I remember when I broke my little finger, it felt better with ice on it and it throbbed and hurt a lot whenever I took the ice off or it all melted, so I wound up asking for more ice when I got to urgent care.  What color cast did she choose?

The fracture in my foot is still bothering me a bit.  Also, I've had a tense muscle in my back all day, and it's probably going to hurt when I wake up tomorrow.

How is the fracture being treated?  :nerd!:

By letting it heal naturally and using pain as a guide to how much strain I can put it under without causing further damage.

Journal articles etc are free online in our local library and I would have assumed that you could also have access to it at the Uni library?

Some of the university libraries here have subscriptions to journals so one can get a copy of journal articles there by paying only for photocopying costs.  My husband got a copy of an article from a somewhat obscure article from Denver University by asking for help at the research desk.  Do you know if your university library or some other nearby university library offers a similar service?

Oh.   :-\

My husband had a person at the research desk help him find the journal article.  I wonder if they have access to more journals.

Mostly everything is available online now, even old articles. Never mind, I have found something else I can use.
