Footed

My daughter broke her foot.  She has to wear a protective boot, or crutches, and for long walks, both.  Consequently, she can't wear her uniform, she can't do most physical training, she can't try out for a specialty group that she wanted,  she has to plan her trips to the bathroom, she has to figure out how to get into and out of buildings, and she has to watch out for crowds.

It's only for a month, but she hates it.

This will be a defining moment in her life and a great learning experience. It will teach her vulnerability, respect for the handicapped, patience, creativity...maybe we all should have a broken bone in our lives? Sorry, maybe I should be more sympathetic?

It would be amazing if she did learn these things (though she knows some of them now). When I broke various parts of my body, that didn't happen!
