Part Duo!

Just when I thought dreamed that we had everything under control health/medical wise in the Rhino household….whammo!

Let me back up a minute, as previously mentioned Christian and I headed off to see the sub ortho specialists about his ankle, Dr. G this past Friday.  She’s WONDERFUL!  Rhino feels sooo comfortable with her and sure enough he needs surgery.  We scheduled everything that day for November 30th, so Rhino could continue to play thru soccer season and re-enactment etc, etc (this was per request of Rhino!).

Now today I pick the beast up from soccer practice to see him limping off the field, he crawls up into the vehicle to kindly state…”mom could we please move my surgery up because I’m in so much pain that I can’t play, so it’s either I’m in so much pain that I can’t play or have surgery and not be able to play.  Either way I’m not playing!”.  I could just see the pain in his eyes and the disappointment.  So needless to say, I’ll be on the phone with Dr. G’s office tomorrow to see what can be done!

In other Rhino news…….there’s a Rhinoette (we’ll call her J) roaming around the savannah these days!  Yes, Christian has a girlfriend.  And I believe this one is his first real puppy love…the words “this means alot to me” was spoken and he has a different demeanor about him with Rhinoette.  I’ve yet to meet J, and she lives in another school district, actually another state away but is only about 1/2 hour drive.  We’ll see how this pans out, specially with everything else going on in Rhino’s life.  But I guess if she can handle being thrown into a pond by Rhino and dished it back out at him, J’s gotten one point from me already!
