hi all. i feel like i'm walking into a get-together that's been going a little while. i'm late, i'm harried and i don't know any of you. well, not really.
you all look at me when i come in the door. i'm feeling embarrassed and shy. and i'm with princess, who's on crutches.
yes, one of the reasons i've not posted yet, and therefore introduced myself, is that princess recently managed to break an important body part which she needs for walking.
a trip to the hospital, and back, with diagnosis of badly-sprained ankle. then a call monday, telling us to go back in, it's a fracture, radiologist was not on duty over the weekend, reviewed the x-rays today, la di da. it's a broken ankle.
after that, a swirl of words, including two that scared me alot. surgery. general anaesthetic.
they put her leg in plaster and dr daniel and dr chris were champions.
fast forward to today. ct scan shows that the plaster they have on now is cool, that will do, no surgery. no openings for melbournegirl to do a shirley maclaine around the nurse's station a la terms of endearment.
so, to my introduction.
hi. i'm melbournegirl and i'm 43. yep, i'm the old one around these here parts. princess is 10, and an old, old soul. she is the most insightful, aware and switched-on person i've ever met.
like i said to i'm not craig, i'm not sure how often i can post, and whether the offerings will be cute, but i'm happy to be part of the community.

Ouch! Sorry to hear about Princess' ankle. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
And that was, as ever, a beautiful description of yor lovely daughter. Looking forward to your next post, whenever it may be.
Good luck with the ministrations, GW. Poor Princess! Broken bones HURT!
Which is a completely idiotic and redundant statement. Sorry!
Poor princess!
Here's hoping Melbourne lays off on the nasty hot weather while she's stuck in the cast. Plastercasts and 40 degree days don't mix well.
Did she get a bright pink cast? Have all her friends signed it yet?
There's a silver lining here...
thanks everyone. she's doing well, and is making me laugh as we drive all over the city collecting necessaries for an upcoming event which she is hoping she will be off the crutches for.
i admire her spirit so much. i need some for myself.
also, not pink cast yet. i think next week. but everyone has signed thus far, and so she is pleased.
Phew - must be a relief to avoid surgery...

* I say we, but mean me, but think I mean we. Don't I?
