We got out of the ER a bit before 3:00 this morning. Cordelia was hungry, so we went to IHOP and got carry out. I couldn’t eat it then because of needing to take my thyroid medication and because of needing to be able to lie down and sleep.

Cordelia slept on the side of our bed where I normally do. Scott slept on the couch. I slept where Scott normally does. Having Cordelia sleep on Scott’s side of the bed isn’t an option because the space between the bed and the dresser is far too narrow for crutches (I can only get in and out sideways). I don’t think this will work well once the work/school week starts, but it was okay for last night.

Cordelia seems to be able to put weight on the bad leg without problems. She’s using crutches so that it’s not her full weight.

We don’t have an orthopedics appointment for her yet. I’m hoping we can get one quickly because pretty much everything is on hold until then. I will have to walk her too and from school for as long as she’s on crutches because she can’t manage her viola on her own. Leaving the instrument at school might be an option once in a while, but she needs to practice.

The only up side that Cordelia can currently see is that she’s scheduled to start gym a week from Monday. This makes it very unlikely that she’ll have to participate this year, either.

Hope her recovery is as swift and painless as possible. Though the gym thing is a definite upside to a slow recovery!

I hope things settle down faster than last time.

I wonder if she has something going on with connective tissue stuff -- I know once dislocation happens, it can cause the joint to be more unstable, but this seems awfully extreme.

*hugs* aw, yikes. Poor kid, and poor you.

Speedy recovery.

Oh, that sounds like quite a lot to manage at once! Here's to a quick and smooth recovery!

I hope you can get an orthopedics appointment quickly and Cordelia is feeling all right. Even getting out of gym isn't worth this kind of upheaval.

I hope Cordelia is ok and goes to her own room soon so you can find a sense of normality.
