Well, we got to go see the the pediatric orthopedic doctor over at Mass General Hospital this morning, and they took a closer look at Amy's x-ray, and her arm is a bit more broken than the ER thought yesterday, and is much closer to the growth plate than they like to see, so she is now the proud owner of a nifty blue waterproof cast (Just on her forearm- she got to pick the color) it has some special fiber on the inside that is ok to get wet, we just have to dry it as best we can and if it gets soapy, run water down the inside of the cast to rinse it! No messing with plastic bags trying to keep it dry in the shower!
We also got to negotiate the public transportation system for the first time, which was a bit daunting for me, though it turned out fine, a trip from the hospital on the red line "T" (Subway?) and a transfer to the Framingham commuter train for a 45 minute ride back to natick, then a 10 minute taxi ride home. There is no public transportation system here in Wellesley, so anywhere I need to go has to be by taxi or asking for rides (which I hate doing!)

Sorry to hear about Amy's arm. How long does she have to wear the cast? All those connections must be very hectic to get on and off of.
How are you feeling? Are you nauseated?
