Hi All,

Thanks Corelly for letting me know a little of what to expect when Olivia's cast comes off - a week on Wednesday!

I thought it was next Monday, but got it wrong, so it's an extra two days

Anyway - we have booked a holiday - we're off to Fiji for a week on the Saturday - 3 days after she gets her cast off on the Wednesday - are we mad? Will she be uncomfortable from having her legs suddenly free still? I kind of imagine her just moving around as normal (at least as she is now - she is commando crawling around everywhere in her cast), and then gradually regaining the use of her legs over the following few days / weeks. Am I being a little optimistic here? Will Olivia find it really weird to have her legs free? Are we making a mistake going away so soon?

I felt the family really needed a break after the last few months, and this was the only week we would do workwise, I just thought we'd have close to a week between her getting the cast off and going away rather than just 3 days! I am not anticipating Olivia being in a brace during the day, although she may be in one overnight.

Sorry to ramble...
