I knew that that little guy
Am also glad to see your sence of humour is back and functioning on a
level once again.
It must be hard to do allot of things, and oh, washing your hair would be something I would really miss too.
I remember when Mel broke her arm when she was just three, now she could tell you exactly what goes through our minds as adults, but we don't always say it out loud. The doctor who had a four year old daughter, could hardly keep from laughing while putting on Mels cast as MEL was telling her off in spades. She was not rude or anything, basically just complaining. In her little babyish accent she said, "HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO SLEEP WITH THAT THING ON, and, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PLAY WITH THAT ON, and HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO EAT WITH THAT THING ON?" She didn't stop the doctor or make it hard for either, just kept repeating about HOW hard having that thing on was going to make her life.
But like you, she was hard to keep down. She was also attempting to not do the limbo, but instead doing summersaults (sp), standing on the teeter totter part of her swing set and grand the bar on the side and flipping over it. NOT a good thing to do with a broken arm. And she did not keep her cast either. When they took it off her, she walked over the garbage can and threw it in. Then we went through the whole thing again of her telling off the doctor when he put the stretchy elastic on her arm! She did not like anything to get in the way of playing,
etc.
We went through this many more times too. It was fun, fun in the fact that I didn't have a little girl who whined about it, she just got on with life. And it was always interesting.
I think that your mom could tell us some interesting stories of when you were little too???
It must be a real bummer though??? The sleeping part is sooooo important, but not so easy to do with a freaken neck brase on??? I have been told to wear the kind that is made of foam, to give my neck a rest, but I end up pulling it off in no time. Hopefully you will be able to take it off once they get another look at how you are healing.
And by the way, "YOU GO GIRL!"
