Vertical Talus, Schmertical Talus: Post-Op, Schmost-Op

The Tingster had her first post-op appointment with Dr. Bennett on December 18 (yeah, I'm a bit late in posting this, so sue me). All went well ... if you wore your ear plugs. The dressing was removed, sutures were taken out and a case was placed on her foot / leg. Oh yes, along with much screaming and wailing and threats of bodily harm - all from a 6-year-old know-it-all drama queen.

Albino was of no use in quieting the Tingster down, to which Dr. Bennett joked (or maybe he was serious), "Next time, your mom is coming with you." Did he think I would beat her down or something? Maybe sit on her to get her to shut up? Where do people get this impression that I'm this bad-ass of a mother who won't accept any crap from her kids. (Those of you who know me well - you'd do well to keep your fat mouths shut, if you know what's good for you.)

Some pics for your viewing pleasure ...
