So today makes a month that Sunshine fractured her foot and Wednesday will make one month since her surgery.
The current count is 4 casts (one plaster from her surgery and 3 fiberglass), 3 splints (one in the ER from our first visit, one from ortho after meeting with the surgeon and a 3rd this past Sunday after she accidentally got her cast wet).
And one awesomely blinged out pair of crutches.
Sunshine's ben a major trooper this past month. Her mobility is limited as are her activities so we've been reading, playing games, watching movies, going to the movies once a week , and doing short errands.
We're counting down to having her cast removed in three more weeks and then hopefully transitioning into a walking boot which will mean the start of physical therapy. We do some exercises at home in an attempt to keep her flexibility up and to help with her turn out. We're optimistic that she'll be healed and ready to dance by Labor Day. Just in time for Nutcracker.
As The SuperBookatarian says "dancers are tough".
