SUBJECT: Bandages on DQ’s arm
DQ had her high school examination today. Contrary to popular belief, she’s considered normal in her physical aspects. She did get three shots. Two in the left arm and one in the right. Since she is left-handed, I guess it should have been the other way. I hope she survives.
Without health, there is no point. To anything.

SUBJECT: My bandage (picture taken by HH)
I was a good mom, finally. The county had seasonal influenza vaccinations available and so I took the kids to get their flu shots. I picked them up from school at 2:30pm. They were excited to leave school a half hour early. That excitement lasted about 5 minutes until I told them where they were going. MonkeyBoy volunteered to go first and he took his shot like it was nothing. DramaQueen followed suit, I got mine, then it was StellaDella’s turn. She was a little more vocal about the initial stick, but she recovered quickly.
On another note, a couple of weeks ago, HandsomeHusband purchased SD 4 additional goldfish to keep Dorothy company. This evening, we had a tragedy…we found a “floater” in the goldfish aquarium. The deceased was one of the new guys. SD did NOT take it well. RIP my gold friend, RIP.

SUBJECT: DramaQueen's sprained ankle
Well, DramaQueen stayed home from school today to rest her ankle. I called the pediatrician this morning and they told me that the radiologist would be reading the x-rays today and should be contacting them if there was any problems. In the meantime, it's R.I.C.E. - Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. My sister, who is a nurse, showed me how to wrap DQ's ankle with an Ace bandage. Oh, and we rented crutches from the drugstore. DQ is excited about having to use them at school tomorrow. She thinks that she will be the center of attention with them!
