Those casts are stretching muscles and ligaments while simultaneously never letting motion relieve discomfort.

Whoever was "First" got to choose the entire week their fork, mug, seat in the car and chore. "Second" got second choice. And "Third" got leftovers.<br /><br />The next week the person who had first choice was now last choice. The person who had second choice was now first choice. Third moved up to second.<br /><br />It was an awesome system. We loved having a whole week where we got first dibs on everything. When we were last, we knew we just had to be patient, and our turn to be first would come again.<br /><br />Glad to see your post again!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11086857503917704562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480927676896809475.post-19835697794671788112012-05-18T07:13:31.260-07:002012-05-18T07:13:31.260-07:00Crossing out days till the casts come off, sister!...Crossing out days till the casts come off, sister!

Or Melatonin? Just to get her into the sleepy time at dark time mode? She is probably really anxious right now after the casts and trips etc and not sleeping isn't helping. So help her relax. Not because you are about to fall over, not because you are hallucinating about soft pillows and quiet rooms oh no, it's all about Victoria. :)rosedelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10908968324873154422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480927676896809475.post-34675357821689141752012-05-17T14:48:51.332-07:002012-05-17T14:48:51.332-07:00You are a super mom Catherine!

I promise you!..... :)<br />And she said, but WHAT IS IT???<br /><br />"Just know, IT is NOT good!" <br />and then she suddenly became Mother Teresa for the rest of the day....<br />(hmmmm.

And I equally hope that you are able to sleep. Someday. :-)lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02237768738313481490noreply@blogger.com
