Leg Update

First, thanks so much to all of my well wishers. I appreciate all of your calls, emails, and comments to let me know how much you’re thinking about me. In no time, I’ll be back to running so fast that my feet can’t keep up.

I’m still getting used to this, so it was still a little rough last night. But, I decided to let Daddy sleep in his bed instead of on my floor (no promises about tonight, though). I had some breakfast and then…well…just sort of sat around, I guess. Mommy and Daddy are working so hard to keep me entertained…it’s cute. So, I put on a pretty good show of giggles and songs and have stayed in pretty good humor so far.

This afternoon, I got my cast at Riley Hospital. It felt like we hung out in the waiting room long enough to have another 3 or 4 more birthdays, but it payed off because they let me pick the color of my cast…purple! So far, so good. I’m still able to get in to my car seat, my stroller, my big girl chair at the dining room table, and am still able to be waited on hand and foot, so things still seem to be groovy.

Click here for some photos that show off the owie, my splint (that I successfully picked all of the cotton out of and said “Uh-oh” each time), and my new purple cast. And, click here for some pics of me in my new Elmo hat that Ganny and Poppa got me to help me feel better.
