Try not to be anxious. Trust me when I say the difference they make is totally worth the few minutes you’ll feel a bit uncomfortable talking about it.
Hugs!
Truth is the ankle is never sprained. Unless the child isn’t really complaining, just limping about with their bottom lip stuck out, then I’d investigate.
Take the drugs, girly. YOu’ll feel better and you’ll never look back. Well, you WILL look back, but it’ll be because you can’t believe it took you so long to give in. I mean this, truly.
A “spranged” ankle, huh? Love it!
I LOVE your lists!
I was trying to figure out a way to respond to you privately, but have been unable to find an email link. So I’m guessing you prefer to keep private! 🙂 I’ve just stumbled across you today, as I have many times these last through weeks through the miracle that is Maddie. The reason I wanted to speak to you was in regards to the meds you are referring to. I’ve been thinking about it for a while and finally, in the last few days, bit the proverbial bullet. I just wanted to offer you some encouragement. Even after only a few days I feel like myself again. I’d be happy to share with you – what it was like before v. what it is like now, etc. Good luck, either way. From what I’ve experienced, it has definitely been worth it. photographerkellee at gmail dot com.
