We went back to the hospital on Thursday to get a new cast and to make sure Lizzie is healing well. The good news is that she's on track; the bad news is that we were there for hours (it's a public hospital, Lizzie used the time to nap) and that it was pretty scary for Lizzie to have them take off her cast and look at her arm. Our nurse was pretty awful (she told Lizzie if she didn't stop crying that I would leave, and that she would get an injection), but we hit the jackpot with the guy who put the cast on and so she was settled by the end of the process.
Apart from the hospital, she is in good spirits and back to her old self. She does not take too much care of her arm at all unless the sling is off. During those times, she walks around tenderly holding her cast with her right arm and asking for the sling.
We are coming into swimming season here, and she's sad that she cannot swim, but I've read about a cast protector that I am considering trying to find. She's also sad that she won't be able to do gymnastics until the autumn...
