Re: Just checking in.
I’m trying to reply @CheerBear but am stuck and crying for now, that’s not a bad thing for me though.

Re: Just checking in.
Thinking things were pretty rough yesterday @CheerBear. Thinking of you and here if you need to vent.

Re: Just checking in.
I had ortho with a littler one today and we spent our morning at the hospital. They're as good as you can be with this stuff which is great but it's a six week cast and no sport of any kind (no playground equipment, run and dives off the lounge, running, trampoline, sport at school, bike or scooter etc.) for three months which they're not happy about, as you might guess after our conversation the other night @outlander. They are now the proud owner of a fancy flouro cast which softens the blow a little maybe and we'll get some textas and possibly even glitter for cast decorating which will help too. It's been another long day though :face_with_rolling_eyes:
I haven't read anything here since yesterday and I'm heading out again now until at least later tonight but I appreciate the vent space and the listening ears, thank you. Hope today is one of the better ones for you ❤

Re: Just checking in.
Ach! @CheerBear My heart goes out to and your family. So much going on ... a mess and who wants which peace and security ... hmmm . dont have to answer as I am guessing its the
hes and shes who must be obeyed....
Hope they get a decent villagish thing happening for you and your brood.
Can relate on so many levels, including your littly as I was the only sib that ever broke a limb and had a cast (not sure about adopted out biological sib .. he may have, as was sporty ish ...tennis and golf and diving ... but died before he told me any broken limb stories)
I love @Teej pics too ...
There is also a very special artistic balance in starting and finshing the post with RAINBOWS.
For when in a sciencey mindset
Walter Lewins lecture on
The Hidden Beauty of Rainbows
is worth it.
I have rainbowey ... made up quote that is my official Mental Health mantra ... as written down by my worker. Its simply "Find the Rainbow".

Re: Just checking in.
I love your mantra. I remember you mentioning it a little while ago and thought at the time how great it was. I had a quick look at the lecture you shared and it's way beyond my very non-sciencey brain, but it's a really interesting topic and I can see that if you could understand the numbers or follow along with them, it would be a great one.
Hope things are OK enough for you. Thanks again 🌈

Re: Just checking in.
Hi @CheerBear,
its taken a while to get back here today. I’m not sure what to respond with but I know you’ll work it out. Of course my brain has been in trying cryptic thinking but today I’ve got nothing 😳 which has actually been really nice. It’s meant that I’ve had a relatively peaceful day without overthinking everything. I’m sorry you have big decisions.
Dont think im on the same page at all but cmh laid down the law and made me give up my security blanket (insert method of s) at one point. It was really hard to do..... I struggled hugely .......but I also then restocked after. I don’t think this is your thing but it was a big thing for me.
I hope LF survives ok with plaster. Mine were not very good at that part. We’ve had 5 breaks in total. I remember being in hospital with one with a broken thumb (a hyperactive one). They made up a removable cast for it. The doctor told him no sport. He said what about soccer, I don’t need my hand for that. She replied that if he found himself on a soccer pitch then this is what he should do to try to protect it and told him. Mind you he didn’t tell her he was the goalkeeper but I wouldn’t let him play that position. I was so grateful that she understood. He would have never survived without some sport. I watched on edge every game until it was healed.
Thinking of you hoping today has been better. 💜🤗
