Yesterday my 13 year old daughter, the greatest thing in my life, took
a spill over the handlebars of her mountain bike. I was on my way
home, call from the neighbor, "looks like she broke her wrist". I get
there, both arms, hands are dangling uselessly, little girl in shock,
but also in pain, get her to ER. She broke BOTH bones in BOTH arms
just above the wrist bad enough to require surgery and pins. Seeing
her in that shape on the way to ER hurt my heart and soul more than
most can imagine. Except for those that are as close to a daughter as
I am her. I'm sad..... She's home today, quite the trooper. No arm
movement for two weeks, then pins out and shorter casts. So much for
our poolside and lakeside summer. I'm sad.....

My wishes for a prompt and complete recovery. And then for everything to
be back to normal for you and your family.
