This summer was a very big one for changes. This week we were hit by one of those changes I wasn't expecting.
I'm busy at work on Monday, always a busy one even when it isn't summer, and my phone vibrates in my pocket. I didn't have any patrons in front of me, so I checked who was calling and my heart fell when I saw it was Dizzy's coach.
I answered, already halfway in tears, knowing she wasn't calling me in the middle of practice to tell me my daughter is wonderful (we already know this). She told me that while doing a back walk-over, Dizzy had done something to her elbow, she thought maybe hyper-extended it. Both she and the other coach who were standing there thought it was a good idea for us to get it checked. I called our health center, was able to get an appointment for that afternoon and emailed the Boss to have him go pick her up.
She joined me at work and we ran a couple of errands before going to the appointment. The doctor's face winced a couple of times while doing his exam and he immediately sent us for x-rays. I got the call the next morning that while there was no definite signs of a break, he wanted us to see someone at the Orthopaedic clinic. I called immediately to the Prompt Care part of the clinic and was able to get in to see the PA that we had seen back in January when she hurt her elbow the first time.
They did another x-ray for a new view and then she came in to tell us that again, no definite break, but something funny on the bone and enough fluid in the joint to cause her some concern. Dizzy was not happy to hear she will be spending the next 2 weeks in a cast from her armpit to her fingers.
Hot pink cast later, we headed home and her only moment of frustration was when she hugged me with a couple tears in her eyes and said, "This sucks monkey butt." that is a direct quote.
Bean and Tater are having a good time giving her a bad time and she's been creative getting her contacts in and doing her chores.
That's all for fun on this end.
Be Happy! Be Healthy! Be sure to stay cool!
