settled down

[flea]

Well, they got out of the ER very quickly, and picked up Dillo and were home just after 6. Casper is apparently in fine spirits and in no need of the prescription Tylenol with codeine they wrote a scrip for. She's very excited to show everyone at school her splint and says they will be so surprised. mr. flea noted that she seems "proud of herself"!

The main challenge now will be getting her shirt off without cutting it - it's got narrow sleeves and they won't fit over the splint.

I'm glad Casper wasn't too traumatized. I hope the healing process goes well.

Well yeah, she should be proud. Splints and casts are badges of honor among the small fry. You can't imagine how disappointed I was when I found out that the treatment for the shoulder I broke in 7th grade was just a sling instead of a full shoulder and arm cast like John Wayne had in The Flying Leathernecks.

Didja go over the handlebars of your bike?

No, I just didn't notice that the chair I pushed aside to look at the model ship kit on the shelf at the local corner store was there to stop people from falling through the open trap door behind the counter. Not my brightest moment. Plus, no cast.

They did give me a splint for the sprained wrist I got when I went over the bar a few years ago. That was sort of cool (the splint part, not the rest of it).

Who has an open trap door behind the counter of a store?!

I sprained my elbow jumping up and slipping on a pile of math papers, so I think I win in the "not my brightest moment" sweepstakes.

Poor Casper! Or really, poor you and Mr. Flea.

I broke my arm the summer before kindegarten. I'm sure it hurt a lot. But what I remember is: (1) they had to cut my shirt off of me in the ER. And I liked that shirt. (2) I was glad that I broke my right arm because I still sucked my left thumb. (3) It was my sister's fault.

Im so glad they got finished quickly and that she's in good spirits about it. Fast and excellent healing to her!
