The cast is off!

Well, it's a good thing K had a nice long ride on Prince on Monday evening, because she won't be doing that again for a while! Yesterday she had her weekly visit with the surgeon. They removed the cast and put a splint on - it's just for the forearm so that she can bend the elbow and wrist. She's to wear it for 6 weeks, and she is to be VERY careful because the bone is very apt to bend. No swimming, horseback riding, bicycling, running, NOTHING. She was a little bummed out. We will definately be signing her up for the summer reading program at the library. And we want to do some scrapbooking. And we'll have to come up with some more activities to get through the summer. I had signed her up for riding lessons starting July 1, but now that's definately out. And I guess she'll just skip swimming lessons this year. Oh, well. The Lord had other plans! I have to say that she's been handling these disappointments quite well, considering how much she wants to be on the back of a horse and how much she likes to swim! Hopefully she'll get a couple of weeks of unrestricted activity before school starts again. :o)
