Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I'm back... and not happy. Ally has a new cast and the physio wants her to stay out of school for the rest of the week - again! This is her time to make new friendships, I don't think it's a good idea. I have a call into her ortho - does he think the physio is being over-cautious?

Viv, Kira is beautiful! My brother was more than 8 weeks early and you wouldn't know it now... Time is the cure!

Mamacita, your scooter sounds wonderful. I hope it makes your life easier and more fun.

Broni, glad to see you and to hear that you have had a good time with family.

June, you're about to pass me on the TOPP list...

Yes...Watch out...I've got wheels that are allowed on the sidewalks...If you get in my way, I can claim I was unable to stop before I ran over you...lol...and yes June, I have an orange flag and reflectors too....
I'm a great driver as long as I don't accidentally turn the machine off as I found out is VERY easy to do while holding a dog interested in sniffing in an area a little difficult to reach from the scooter....great fun maintaining control of my body, the scooter and Jazz...Yet I was up for the challenge....
Pictures will follow some where along the way.

Ally has a waterproof cast now, which won't be covered by insurance - they only cover plaster casts. It is also much lighter. I couldn't make her stick with the plaster cast, it has been awful trying to manoeuver her to get her hair washed etc, and school camp could be a wet affair! I just don't like her missing this much school at the beginning of high school...

Hehe Mamacita! That sounds like fun! Can't wait to see the photos!

Wow Suzy...why did he want he Ally to stay out of school? If she's not in pain and healing is taking place, I would definitely question it as you have done.
Bronte...Glad you are well and have returned without too much trouble.I'm sure you were able to find time to enjoy in spite of the problems encountered. Good onya!

What a hoot Mama, look out world Mama has wheels and will travel.
Zusy why does the physio want to keep her out of school?

Snap Mama!
Back to doing ffuts, why did I take sooooo much stuff with me?????

Mamacita, he says it's because of the swelling. He wants her to keep it raised, and to be able to raise it if it starts to swell, which she can't really do at school. If the ortho says it's okay, I will send her tomorrow.

Suzy, I still have wedding pictures to post but can't because of a problem with my printer/scanner and the new computer...I can't even download pictures from my camera right now...glitches will be worked out in time, but don't hold your breathe....

Once I've sorted out this stuff with Ally I have to back up all my files on this computer. It's starting to act weird and I should have done it before now, just in case. I think we're going to have to reinstall windows...

Its been so fun catching up with Suzy and Bronti for a few live comments, but am now off to read some more...may get to stop in again before bed....catch you later,,,Zoom zoom....I'm off....in more than one way..lol

That scooter sounds like SO much fun. Don't let me near it, or it may go home with me.

Bye for now Mamacita!

It sounds like Brenda could be getting cold and wet right now. Nasty storms in Britain.

Hi everyone. Trying to catch up on all the reading and watching the crazy woman who had octuplets.

Suzy, could Ally use a sling? That could help keep her arm raised.

Will check back after more reading.

Hi Broni...long time no see...
Mama..WOW... looking forward to a photo. Glad Jazz wasn't too scared to get on with you ... I think our Jess would have been!!

Hi Becky, she does use a sling. The old cast was so heavy she couldn't manage without one! Now if there was a sling that held her arm out horizontally as if she was reclined with it on a cushion....

Doc still hasn't called me back! And I have other calls I want to make... As blackboard used to say "hurry up".

I have to get up early to sort out a yearling heifer, and take her to the processor for her buyer. It's a 45 min. drive each way, and she needs to be there ~ 8 am.

So..... all.

Night Heidi. Sleep tight.

Suzy, they used to make an aluminum thingy that propped up the arm and braced against the hip. They looked a little silly and I bet Ally would rather stay at home (know I would).

Finished watching the interview and have not changed my opinion of her.

Still reading and don't know when I'll be caught up.

Good afternoon lovely SA7 people. Electricians have gone, power back on. Yee Haa!
Hey, Broni, great to see you back safely, sorry the ski thing was cancelled but seeing your family wold have been good.
Mama's got wheels - congrats!
Suzy - hope Ally's new cast is more comfortable for her and I agree with whoever said, if she's pain-free, why shouldn't she go to school?
Heidi - hope you enjoyed your birthday. I wanted to skype you but these electricians took too long and I missed you.
Brenda - congrats on becoming an honorary Aussie.

Up to pg. 306, so you all know how far behind I am.

Time for me to hit the hay.

Take care and stay safe.

The doctor has overridden! Ally is going to school tomorrow! And my mother is having a panic attack about the 2 bends in the cast and how on earth her arm is going to dry, and what will happen with her skin??????

Thought you'd all like to join me in "celebrating" the fact that after a very hot day, it's raining. Bucketing. Teeming. Pouring. Our floors still aren't dry enough to put our stuff back. Still living as if in the middle of a giant garage sale.

Suzy - that's just mothers and grandmothers. If there's nothing to worry about, we find something.

Oh Susan!! What to say? Only that I hope it doesn't flood again. (Wish I had a fingers crossed smiley!)

This is the 3 inches (75mm) per hour type of rain! There is water running in our yard already but I'm almost certain it won't lead to flooding (again). Fingers crossed anyway.

Susan! Oh No! And here I am complaining because Ally is missing school and bonding time with her new friends!

My fingers are crossed too!

I've just spent some time perusing Victorian maps and city names. When you shrink a map to the size of a computer screen, ALL of the fires seem too close to someone from here!

It doesn't bear thinking about Suzy. I can't believe it's still ongoing. Pray for a miracle?

There are offers of help coming from all over the world - but it will take them time to get here, and if they aren't bringing trucks with them??? I just read about one town that has been told that it's on its own if the fire comes as the pumpers that were going to be sent there have broken down! I can't imagine being told that. How helpless would you feel?

Japan I think has offered several water dropping helicopters, if I understood the terminology correctly, that sounds like the way to go!

I actually only came in here to log off. Hubby needs unwind time and Ebob has a research project to do. I'll let them fight it out for who gets first go...

Sending thoughts and wishes to everyone!

Look at that. I've delivered papers, returned movies, been to the store and, not only did my family not come in here and take over the computer, no one posted!

Stressed spelled backwards is desserts. Coincidence? I think not!
My TFTD especially for SA7
I would put up some nice smilies but I'm getting a message to say that I have none loaded. Ah, c'est la guerre!

Quel surprise! They were there all along!

I'm so bored!

I never knew that Cyn! I love it!!! Now if only I'd bought some while I was over town... I'm trying to save up all my shopping for Friday.
