Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 , I know what you are saying about getting " the look " . had an extra thumb on his left hand that we just had surgically removed. This required him to have a cast put on all the way up his arm past his elbow. It was terrible to see him have to lug that thing around. But, that wasn't the worst. The worst was how I felt everytime someone said to him " Awww, what happened? Did you fall? " And then they would look at me. I hated it because I got those comments everytime I took him somewhere. I was always feeling like people were thinking I had done somehting terrible to my child. Just the way they say things and then look at you. So, I know what you are saying. I was there not too long ago myself. just had the cast removed mid September. Jodi R. > Pat, > > Yes.. I can see your side of the coin now. I would get > equally upset.
