Olivia FINALLY got her cast off today. She has been telling us "Olivia cast off, and Olivia walk"... I wasn't sure should could walk right away since I knew her muscles would be weak as she has been in a cast for 3 months now. But of course we told her "Yes Olivia walk, when her cast is off".
I made the mistake of telling her days in advance that she was getting her cast off today, and she has asked non-stop since... "Cast off today"... She was very happy all the way there. Last time she was asleep, so I wasn't sure how she would do with the loud saw.
They started to cut it off and she did great. I video taped it and if I can figure out how to put it on here I will add it.
As soon as the cast came off Olivia said "No walk"... "later". As the day continued I noticed she was in more and more pain. Which I thought was odd as she hasn't had any pain since the first week of her surgery.
We scheduled her hand specialist appointment in November so we can determine if they will operate or what the best plan is for her. We also scheduled to meet with the doctor to set up our protocol for treating her feet. Both will need surgery, but we need to get a game plan together for that.
She was in so much pain by the time we got home that I gave her some codeine left from her surgery. (Very glad that we had some).
She slept well and the next day needed more pain meds. She was starting to pull herself up at the table and slowly walk around the table and couches. She was quite proud of herself... LOL
We can't wait to get her back in swimming and let her enjoy her cast free months.
