Pegleg Princess

I feel like I need to post an up update on the wee one. The appointment at the ortho Monday went well, er, health-wise, not so much on the ears of everyone in the room at least. Zara's cast came off with much protest, crying, wailing, and twisting about. It's funny, when she was actually hurt she put up with everything without a whimper, but this time she started crying as soon as we walked in and no one had even touched her. Not sure if she remembered this as the place she was hurt in or what. I had to physically clamp her in my arms while the awesome tech deftly managed to hold on and, with a circular saw, take the cast off without nicking her. Furthermore, Zara then proceeded to do the same thing during the x-ray, the walks between rooms, and the sit-down to let the doc tell us everything was peachy keen.

...And then we left and everything was copacetic again for Z.

But having been trapped in cast for three weeks it is supposed to take just as long to fully heal the muscles and get everything loosened up. Zara is walking, just not well right now. She has a kind of stiff legged limp, but is at least getting around and shows improvement each day. Again, adults would have been in the cast twice as long and need physical therapy at this point to recover, so no real complaints. And for the very long awaited fun, she has gotten many baths and gotten to get in the pool twice now. She is a little fish and has enjoyed getting to be in the water again.
