[QUOTE="slsh, post: 578715, member: 8"] Cantaloupe had disappeared by bedtime. She's leaving the 2 straps closest to knee undone while she's sitting in wheelchair (so most the day). Hopefully today will be better. And absolutely, the frozen corn really does make a much better ice pack than the real ice packs, LOL. I just realized yesterday that she's probably not going to be able to go to Operation Snowball on the 21st (her 15th b-day!!!). I'm really bummed, 'cuz she's been looking forward to it since Weeburt did it his freshman year. I just don't think it's going to work because of accessibility issues. She's not loving HS too much, really misses her friends who went to public HS. I was hoping Snowball would really cement some new friendships for her. She hasn't been able to do the various activities that she's done in years prior - marching band sucked every second of her time from last July 'til November, then her knee and back acted up. She missed play tryouts because of the swelling - first time *ever* she won't be in a school play. Joined fencing but then couldn't participate because of knee. Won't be able to do softball either. It's just not been the freshman year she imagined, and I'm feeling really bad for her. It's not that she hasn't made new friends - I think she just misses the gals she's known since Kindergarten. They still get together, but... Diva's just not as happy as I hoped she would be. Going to our home HS is out of the question and I think she's finally got that, but... we just want our kids to be happy, you know? I know that this HS is the very best place for her, and it will well prepare her for college, but... I really do hate to see her not as happy as she could be. I'm thinking of doing a spa weekend on the 21st with her BFFs from grade school. She's not really a girly girl but does like mani/pedis and might go for a gentle massage/facial kind of thing. She's also really bummed because she toned up amazingly (and lost about 15 pounds) during marching season, and she's obviously lost a lot of muscle tone right now. Plus the winter blues are settling in.... got to do something to brighten her spirits. For now, it will have to be a good scrubbing of scaly old leg tonight, and I think I'll paint her toenails. Just doesn't seem like enough. She's really *really* been such a trooper through this. [/QUOTE]
