sky was giddy with excitement. she couldn't stop giggling!
ahhhhhh! okay, you can't really see but the long dark leg hair,
the stink, the rash, the pen marks under her knee from sticking
a pen down her cast to scratch an itch, and the dead skin.........
were all a sight to behold! the worst part? after scrubbing
her leg for about 1/2 hour while waiting for x-rays, there was
sooooooooooooo much dead skin on the paper stuff. it was
totally disgusting. we actually wrapped it all up and pulled out
some new fresh paper cuz' we couldn't stand looking at it!
after leaving the office with her new walking boot but still on
crutches, the emotions went from giddy excitement to frustration,
tears & madness. skylar was not happy. getting a cast off doesn't
mean everything is healed and better. we've still got another
month before doing any kind of activity. sky's knee was/is really
sore and she does not enjoy bending it. at all. a lot of tears were
shed that afternoon and night. what a rollercoaster....................
we final got her to soak her leg in the tub, only to have dead skin
caked, and i mean caked all around the bathtub! it was so gross!
one week later, no crutches! yea! (but she still has some nasty
skin still on there! you'd think all that dead skin would be off by
now!) skylar made a goal of not taking crutches to school today
and she did it! she made it all day walking, well kinda walking
in a real funny way!....................................bring on the rehab!
