Who knew that the splint would be better? On Saturday, my daughter broke her ankle. Since about Monday, she was complaining about the looseness of the splint. How she fantasized about the new cast. Everything would be better. The cast would be snug. No longer would she fear people bumping her foot and hurting her.
On Wednesday, the orthopedist surprised her. Instead of a cast, he fit her with a moon boot. A heavy, cumbersome, doesn't fit through any pant leg, moon boot. Instead of a cast that her friends could sign, she was fitted with plastic and straps. None of her friends could decorate it, but they could add stickers.
Was the regular cast an option? Poor girl, it looked like it weighed a ton. :(
ReplyDeleteNo, the doctor thought this would be better for her. I wish it came with wheels!
