Sometimes the attitude backfires. My daughter is in a cast after a fall, a gnarly fracture (surgeon's words) and surgery, but determined to be independent. Yesterday she confessed to being in a lot of pain after insisting on doing a number of things without help this weekend. She now has a very clear understanding of "no lifting " ...today is a little better, but I don't know if I can handle 6 or more weeks of her in the cast. And she's a trauma nurse!

Hmmmm, Sue. The acorn doesn't fall far from that tree, does it? bless her as she struggles to pull back and let her body heal. Bless you as you struggle to help her with hers and yours as you work with so much.....elizabeth

@sueinmn Oh my goodness, Sue, life can be so harsh. I'm very sorry to hear of that awful fracture your daughter has suffered. Being a trauma nurse puts a double burden on her, I'm sure, since expectations are at an even higher level. My sons gave me a pair of slippers at Xmas with "Trauma Queen" embroidered on the front. Maybe you should go shopping. Lol. I was at least grateful my slippers didn't say "DRAMA Queen"! Hang in there.
Hugs, Laurie
