UGH. Sydney fell off the monkey bars yesterday and broke her arm. She broke both of the bones in her left wrist. She fell at around noon. It took me about an hour to get to pick her up but I had to turn over something I was working on, go find DH who was at lunch to tell him what was going on, and run home to get some books to read to Sydney and her puppy. Her tolerance for pain is incredibly high, I discovered. She didn't really hurt, but her body was obviously in pain as pale as she was.

You know there is no question about a break when the ER doc walks in, picks up the ice pack, looks at her arm, and walks out. They took her for x-rays and then the surgeon came in. We had to wait until 6:00 to cast it because they were putting her under to set it and had to wait until 6 hours after lunch.

She's been a real trooper. She's in a full arm plaster cast.

Poor little thing!
