@boodus She hung from the monkey bars.
She fell and tried to brace her fall.
Her left arm bent in a location it's not supposed to bend.
We sought medical intervention.
Trained medical staff intervened.
We went home.
Later that night I posted to Reddit.
You commented.
I responded.
@katrina2017 I'll find out all the details when we see the Ortho on Monday.
She starts K next year, and I'm a SAHD, so it's just me she has to impress for now. (Or is it me trying to impress her? Hard to tell on a day by day basis.)
@yochanannorth Right now she has a plaster splint and two Ace bandages. We see the Ortho on Monday for a cast. I'm absolutely going to ask about a waterproof cast.
@keffiyeh As others have pointed out, anesthesia doesn't mean it doesn't hurt, it means the patient is disassociated from their nervous system. They can still react to sensory input, but they don't remember it. It's basically chemically induced amnesia.
I guess it all works different depending...
This morning, I dropped off my 7 yr old for her 2nd day ever of in-person school (she loves 2nd grade so far), and I decided to take the 4 yr old to the park afterward.
She hit the swings, we walked down a path in the woods singing "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt" and "Do Your Ears Hang Low"...
