Janet her ankle was not broken but they saw that the growth plate had spread (meaning she is grew in height) and they could tell that it was fractured the first time. She should have had a plaster cast. Those air boot casts are useless, imo. The doc said she needs physiotherapy so I took her a few days later when I could get an appointment, and of course, her foot was not bothering her at that time! The therapist could tell there was a bit of swelling and a tiny pocket of air where she said she feels pain. She has exercises to do and I have to give her special calf and ankle massages every night. (why couldn't I be so lucky?!) Her third session is tomorrow night. She hasn't walked much being house bound all weekend or played badminton, so chances are it won't be bothering her and this will be the last session.
She is still on the team and was told she always will be and she can play when she is able to.
I was shocked, really. That made her feel special, which is very important. Unfortunately, she is not interested in any other sport or getting involved in activities or groups. We've pleaded with her to get active and get out, but nope. She is very introverted, but there is other stuff going on that I won't discuss, so we take things as they come at us day by day.
Congrats on the new to you bedroom! That is a dream of mine, that I am afraid will never happen. LOL What can ya do! Our bedroom is... I can't even describe it, it's that bad. I'm almost embarrassed to admit to this, but Simon (our dog) sleeps on our bed. Well he is going to be 14 years old this year and can't jump on it anymore and would not use doggie steps or a platform that Mark made for him, so, we took the bed apart and slept on the box spring and mattress on the floor. Yup. Then, even that got too high for him, (arthritis in his little legs) so, being the crazy fools that we are, we are now down to just the mattress on the floor. No.lie. Needless to say, NOBODY is allowed in our bedroom. LOL!!! It just about kills us getting up in the morning, as Mark has a bit of arthritis going on and I have fibromyalgia (mild at this time), so yeah... lots of sacrifices made for our little boy. But we wouldn't have it any other way.
Some may think that's extreme or we are nuts, and I'm fine with that.
Heather, poor Martina just can't get a break! I hope she feels better and it doesn't get passed around the household. Ack! I see you are headed to California soon! Wow. Two trips to see the Mouse this year. Good for you! Mark and I *almost* booked a trip there last year, but didn't. I'm thrilled we got to get away for a bit at OKW and loved every minute of it. No trips this year, unless money starts falling from the sky, don't see that happening any time soon, LOL! but things could be (have been) worse.
Few people knew this was on our plate, (just Mark, me, and my two very best friends) so I can say something now about it. I was cleared of ovarian cancer just recently. *teeth* We hadn't bothered to tell family because we didn't want to add to the list of current issues/worries going on. If I did have it, well obviously, we would have had to tell people! Needless to say, I am very blessed and couldn't care less about a trip this year.
Now, if they could just figure out what IS wrong with me, well then colour me one happy camper!
Nothing like making you miss someone even more. Sniff.
Really, I think it is whatever kids are used to - they can thrive either way. 
Makes it hard to plan a trip other than in the summer. (and we all need a break!!!)
No typical Spring here this year - cold and raw instead. Hopefully, we'll have 3 or 4 weeks of 70's before it will be 90+ and humid every day until November. 
Much better than raw and cold!
