Another visit to Sick Kids

Not sure what was going on in The Big City today, but the place was a zoo. We foolishly thought that with our 11:00 appointment we would miss all the traffic. I don't think you can ever beat the traffic to Toronto anymore, a traffic free zone doesn't exist anymore.
Sick Kids was crazy busy today too. I (foolish move number 2 today) saw the LOT FULL sign in the underground parking but ignored it, I mean it always says it's full there but it never really is. Until today! We actually had to pay $5.00 to drive around 4 levels of parking (and we were not the only crazy people to pull into the full lot either, everyone was ignoring the lot full sign) and exit when we figured out that they were not kidding about the lack of available spots.

Anyhoo, arrived at the appointment 5 minutes late (I always am in a panic about being late even though we have never, ever been seen on time. Which I totally understand because it is a busy place). The Plastics Clinic was also crazy busy and we did not actually see the doctor for another 1 and a 1/2.
Oh well, at least Brennyn's hand looks good. Her favourite person (the physiotherapist) made Brennyn a brand new splint and we are good for another 6 months. In 6 months we will be discussing surgery number 3!

Of course, Brennyn made some friends in the waiting room, and I think someone's Grandma wanted to take her home (Brennyn was talking with this lady for 30 minutes, asking her if she was Chinese because she had an accent. She was Italian. I can't make this stuff up, that kid just says what's on her mind).

Once again, I can not say enough about Sick Kids Hospital. Everyone there is always so good to Brennyn, they speak to her on her level. They are so very patient. I just feel so fortunate to live an hour away from such an amazing hospital (even if there is always traffic on our way there).
Next visit is in a month and this time we'll be seeing the Dentist!
