I saw the ortho on Wednesday. I'm now using a sling. If the elbow hasn't healed in 3 weeks, I'm facing surgery. I told him that didn't thrill me. The last two surgeries weren't too successful. I might end up with them replacing the radial head. I'm just tired of having a broken arm.

I don't want to take her goals away from her, and I don't want to encourage unrealistic dreams. It's balancing act. I have never told her she can or can't adopt a child. I try to use these dreams to motivate her to do better. We talk quite a bit about how you have to walk before you can run, and you need to master the alphabet before you can read. I point out that she's trying to run a marathon before she can walk. Reverend Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01726370034631635093noreply@blogger.com
