NYNY- The return of the queen

I somehow can't imagine you sitting around with a broken foot for 8 weeks!
Were you as active before you broke your foot as you are now?

Two week, huh? I had to be in one for 8 weeks when I broke my foot a
few years back.

Oh, very sorry to hear about your son. I hope he recovers soon which
young kids usually do.

Thanks Fred. He seems to be taking it as a big adventure. The only
time it seems to worry him is when he can't get somewhere he wants to
be. We're not allowed to let him walk on the cast until this
afternoon.

I'm glad he won't be laid up for a long time, that would be hard for a
little guy, especially one that is very active!

Thanks Brenda. He seems quite happy.

Gosh, that must have been painful for
him, poor little guy.

It only hurt him when he tried to put weight on it, so it could have
been much worse. It's a clean simple fracture so he should be as good
as new in a few weeks.

It's ridiculous really. The only options are overpriced vending
machines, full of high fat junk food.

There are a few others with McDonalds in them. Children's Hospital in Philly
is one of them. Whenever my daughter was a patient there we had to get her
McDonalds every night for dinner.

Talk about healthy food in a hospital. One in our neck of the woods
has a McDonalds inside. There was an uproar when it first was
proposed by many of the medical staff but the administrator won out.

I can imagine how painful Friday was for both you and your son. I hope
he's pain-free now and on the mend, and that everything's back to
normal for you.

Thanks PR. Things are as normal as they can be with a toddler in a
cast...lol... I'm back on track, sticking to points. It's awfully hard
to eat healthily whilst stuck in a hospital, especially when you have
very little money. Still, not an everyday occurrence so I'm not going
to stress over it.

I actually, walked my 4 mile lake with the cast twice and then went to
my pediatrist who said NO MORE WALKING. I came home and did it one
more time! (G)

Yes, I was active then - broke it while hiking and since I did not
know it was broken, I actually hiked out (in a lot of pain) 5-6 miles
with it broken. Found out the next morning when I went to the doctor.

Yes, I think my weight (too much) gave people the wrong impression.
When I started physical therapy after the cast came off, the therapist
asked what I did after about two weeks. I had done 70 miles of bike
riding and a 7 mile hike, well, LIMP, anway. He was incredulous. But
I think kicking steps on steep snow was not advisable and they put me
back in the cast for another week!!! (G)

My dad broke his leg once and walked home on it. He had been drinking and
had fallen, didn't even realize it was broken until morning when he woke up
and couldn't put any weight on it whatsoever. No crutches in the house, he
had to use the bars taken off the sides of my little brothers crib to limp
his way to the car for the hour long ride to the hospital!

He is *very* active. Always on the go. He's getting the hang on
walking with the cast on now but he does get frustrated at times. He's
a cruisey wee boy though so he's dealing well with it, all things
considered.

Great job Erin!!! Keep up the wonderful work!!!

Thanks Janice. I'm planning on keeping it up. My MIL is coming back
from England next month so I want to lose as much as I can by then.

I did have one day off program yesterday though. My 23 month old son
broke his leg and we ended up spending hours at the hospital. I
decided that counting points was too much trouble so I just winged it.
Hopefully not too much damage done, to me anyway ;-)

Thanks Kristin. He's doing fine. he runs around with the cast on. It
doesn't seem to bother him most of the time and hopefully it comes off
on Friday morning.
