Well, our daughter has broken her leg. Is that the correct way to describe it? She has a hairline fracture on her tibia, apparently near a "growth plate" whatever that means. She has a cast and must let it heal without putting weight on it, and our lives are turned upside down (again).
We've lost sleep, particularly the first couple of nights as she screamed in pain. We've taken turns with helping her to the bathroom, etc. We've taken time off from work. While she's home she's got the sofa bed open and the TV on loud, so it's been hard to work. She wakes pretty easily so working late or early is out while she's in the living room.
This is my busiest month of the year, so I'm pretty frazzled. She broke her leg the afternoon of a date night for my wife and I; it will be months before I can get my wife's attention again.
I'm pretty self-centered. I hope that she feels better soon but a lot of that is to make our lives easier.
