The vet is going to do some testing on Buttercup's heart arrythmia. get morning chores done quickly head up to vet appt. testing is supposed to take about an hour, so maybe go grab a coffee and get the car fueled up while we wait *must remember to give dd's horse his second round of medication as soon as we get back home our new mudroom counter and sink are getting installed either today or tomorrow, so I need to finish clearing things out of there and give it a quick vacuum school w/dd maybe some office work, if I have time dinner: mushroom fettuccine and broccoli Edited October 16, 2018 by Selkie 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Howdy. I have 1 kid home because she thinks she broke her toe. Needless to say no day is a good day for that sort of thing, but I sure wish I'd focused better on my work yesterday. I also have a sinus infection and started the day with a headache. Boo! 1 kid up and off to school bus, after cleaning out her bag (yikes) and signing some papers. Coffee. Caught up on social media, work emails, news.... A bit of work. To do: Need to make appointment for kid's toe - they don't open until 9. Doctor visit. Sign up for parent-teacher conferences already. Whatever work I can get done. Driver will take younger kid to horse riding, assuming I don't need the car. Lots of homework / test study for kid 1. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) Well they say my daughter's toe is not broken, so we should just put ice on it every 4 hours and give her motrin. My daughter is annoyed that they didn't say what IS wrong if it's not a broken bone. She doesn't want ice or motrin either. They didn't mention how she's supposed to get around. I'm reminded why we normally bypass regular "medicine" and go to the chiro instead. I think I will still try to make a chiro appointment for this afternoon. The chiro doesn't open until 2pm. I'm glad if it's not broken. Hopefully that means it heals fast. Now back to work. Edited October 16, 2018 by SKL 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Re my 12yo's foot - the chiropractor said it might be a growth plate injury, and he wants her to be non-weight bearing for at least a full week if not 2. She is excited to be borrowing crutches for the first time. This sucks though. The things that this messes with: This Saturday's volleyball tournament. Sidelines all the way. Sunday - the 5th race of the 5 race series. She was #1 for all 4 of the others. May have to walk a mile on crutches to qualify for 1st place. Gymnastics performance team - the 1st performance is October 27. First 5k of the season also October 27. TKD belt test also October 27. Other sports - gymnastics, possibly try-outs for basketball and cheerleading. Just general mobility - her school backpack weighs like 100 lbs, plus she needs her trumpet tomorrow - I will have to drive her and take her stuff in as I don't see her carrying all that stuff around on crutches. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL, yikes. I remember when my ds broke his tibia and fibula, the doctor was very concerned that it might be a growth plate fracture. He said that if growth plate injuries don't heal properly, it can cause permanent damage, like one leg being shorter than the other. Luckily, in ds' case, the growth plate wasn't affected and he healed up just fine. Hope that is the case with your dd, too! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
