Driver's Permit

Early this morning I took Sara to the DPS to get her driver's permit.  It went well and luckily we did have all the necessary paperwork.  Now she is inline for the behind the wheel portion....and is signed up in a week.  I guess I will hold my breath and take her to a very large and EMPTY parking lot and see how long until she crashes my van......PRAY!  I guess I would not be so nervous if she wasn't so excited.  Maybe a little fear would go a long way in this one.

BTW--Thanks mom and dad for having the love and patience to teach all 4 of us how to drive....this the gray hairs.

Cast away

Today we are back to the surgeon. The cast is gone! This time he used dissolvable stitches and did a wonderful job. The incision is much nicer. NEW PROBLEM---since removing the very long screws from the bones, this leaves holes that now have to heal and he said best not to do any falling for 3 months.....3 MONTHS! Trying out for select soccer this upcoming season is out again, and for a girl that lives for soccer........

Since the break until 3 months until she can get back into it will be 13 months! That is a very long time for a broken arm to heal. May be heading back to PT also...very limited motion in the wrist again.

Surgery again for Sara

Today we had Sara's second surgery on her arm, this time to take out the "hardware". No longer is she a bionic girl, just one with a long scar. The did take out the old scar during the surgery and did more of a plastic surgery sewing in the end. Now 12 days of ice, pain pills and elevation and we will see if it is better. Too bad she doesn't like snakes, it would be a good beginning for a tatoo.
