There never seems to be a dull moment when you are 2. Ask my Mom-mee she’ll tell you.
To make a very long story slightly shorter….a brick fell on my foot. After 4 hours at Stollery emergency (Kate stayed home with Mom), the Doctor said “I’d be very surprised if it’s broken, if it were broken she would be screaming when she stood on it”. “Come back in 5-7 days if she is still limping.” Okay, so 6 days later we are still favoring the foot. A shorter 2 hour wait at the local medi-centre, one x-ray later….I have 3 broken bones in the foot. Mom-mee was almost in tears for me. She says I’m such a trooper and so strong. The Doctor put on a nice hot pink cast. After only an hour at home I was complaining about the cast. It was digging into my calf and not working very well. A rescue by Auntie Bubs to look after Kate (Mom was in Fort McMurray) we went to the Health First Unit where they have a casting clinic. After another 2 hour wait....Dave fixed me right up. Sawed off the hot pink cast, I didn’t even flinch. He put on a soccer ball cast and did me up all nice so I could still motor just like it weren’t even there. He gave me a teddy bear which I named Dave. He was awesome!!!
Also included in this blog is my pre-dance recital photos (the dance recital was video taped). Thanks to Auntie Hilary for sending me the fancy pink dress over a year ago…finally came in handy. Thanks to Mom-mee for the flowers in the hair, and thanks to Mom for video taping my first performance. We went skating after the recital…what a great day! Of course this all took place BEFORE the broken foot.
We are off to Granny’s for Easter and of course to ride Max. Hope the Easter bunny is good to you all. Take care and “no worries” I can still “bounce” with my cast on.
