Before the surgery she was a real trooper. She was smiling and laughing and telling everyone she broke her arm. They gave her "giggle gas" and she was feeling great! She went back no problems.
After the surgery she was a different child. She was mean and mad. She tried to pull out her iv and she tried to pull off her heart monitor and her cast. She did not want to lay down, sit down, stand up or be held it was like she just wanted out of her skin. She was so tired but she would NOT go to sleep. *Side Note: Please excuse the way I look I was thriving on about 4 hours sleep and had rubbed all my makeup off and didn't have time that morning to fix my hair.
Pooh Bear came up and saw her little sister and brought her a fox and my brother brought her a turtle. They made her a little happier. By the end of the day she had doughnuts, a cookie bouquet, a box of ring pops, a build a bear cat complete with cast and a pink poodle all brought to her from friends and family!

Daddy Bear, Pooh Bear, Paw Paw, Mimi, my brother and I put her in the wagon and rode her around the hospital. That seemed to make her a little happier but she was still a pistol ball. After they left we settled in for a long night of crying and tossing and turning.
We are at home now and she is better but still a little ill. Hopefully she will be a lot better after a good nights sleep in her own bed. The really bad thing is I have to keep her off all playgrounds for the next 2 to 4 weeks until the pins are out. How do you do that with a 2 1/2 year old?
