Any of you ever have a "Oh, I am such an idiot" moment?
I have, I just remembered. When Javier was first born and I started researching BPI, docs, treatments etc. I read alot about SOL splint/cast. It took me a whilw to realize it was Statue of Liberty and not Sh*t Out of Luck cast. lol- i still giggle at that one.

Marlyn,

Thanks for the laugh!
I like the name you came up with for it.

When I had my first shoulder surgery back in the 60's, I had to wear a plaster SOL splint for 6 months. It was a full body cast, and I had it on over the summer I was eleven. When it began to itch, I remember feeling a bit 'out of luck' myself!

Thank goodness we have moved way beyond 6 month casts for this surgery.

My mom did not take a single photo of me in that cast. Can you believe it?

You are too funny! I think that's a great name for it... You cracked me up!

When I was a baby I wore a brace made of velvet and steel bars and leather... they called it the traffic cop position... when I saw it I thought it look like someone was saying stop... LOL...
