[QUOTE="slsh, post: 567970, member: 8"] I've already touched base with HS. They will have a classmate move her from class to class before bell - and I'm just so anxious about this postop leg sticking out like a sore.... leg. Wonder how many times it's going to get bumped. We have a wheelchair lift in van so transportation is good (though I'm thinking it will be a 3-ring circus with 2 kids in wheelchairs - must find sense of humor, and FAST!!!). I'm going to get her a bunch of goofy socks for Christmas. She obviously won't be able to wear school uniform, so I'm thinking sweat pants with- left leg cut off. The whole skin thing has me worried. Seems counter-intuitive to cast a surgical incision, but... ok. Definitely will be keeping an eye on that. She did have a cast on her hand in first grade, so she remembers the itching etc., but I don't think she realizes that it won't just be hand/wrist itching, it will be entire leg, and she won't be able to reach her toes. Pillows - thank you! Will make sure our extras are washed and ready to go. And will make sure we have lots of garbage bags (though I don't think her leg will fit in one - she's 5'10".... maybe one bag with- hole in it over first bag). She's in marching band instead of gym, and marching season is over (and probably what exacerbated this), so we're good there. [/QUOTE]
