...4:10 with the lackey. Seriously, the charming woman I made the appointment with last week was EMPHATIC that I simply MUST see Dr. Little and he only has clinic hours on Wed. Did I see him? NOPE! Did I see the gal who puts the casts on every damn day there? YEP! Sigh...she said she took the x-rays back to Little and he approved it but seriously, that couldn't have been done LAST WEEK when I called? And hospital staff wonder why we parents are combative with them? Hmmmmmmmm
We were seen 3rd last patient of the day. Grrrrr, could have showed up at 3:55 and been fine. Would have been nice since I showed up at 1:30 for a 2 pm appointment and drove in the garage for 38 minutes until I found a parking spot. Yes, my math gurus, that made us 8 minutes late for our appointment.
Anyway, Teddy is ok, or at least he's going to be. His bicep is tightening up so much that his triceps can't move at all. If you feel his arm it feels like it's got a walnut in it. We're going to do some stretching exercises and I'm calling Malcolm, the former physio for the Wallabies (national rugby team for non-Oz) tomorrow to set up sessions. If his arm does not straighten out in 2 weeks when we go back for the check up they will straighten it for him OUCH and cast it in the straight position. WE DO NOT WANT THIS, for obvious reasons. So stretching exercises it is!
Now I'm off to pour cold medicine down Tessi's, Connor's and my throat. Ted gets home in an hour and I plan to be in bed 5 or 6 seconds after that. Wooo Hooo, usually I at least make it until 8pm before I crash...not tonight!

I still can't believe that he broke his arm so badly. That'll teach him to play anything other than video games! Good luck with the stretching exercises.
OK, I just read that you wrote Minivan under "Things I Miss." Dang, I would miss mine, too! What do you drive there?
Sigh...a 2000 Hyundai Lantra wagon. Think of the little Ford station wagons. They are SMALL. The 3 kids sit RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER. Teddy in between the 2 booster seats. It's a special kind of vile.
