thanks to everyone. you are all very sweet.
I had to give her a pain pill this morning

she is just whimpering a lot. she really doesn't know how to get around with this big cast on her leg

I have put a sock over it so that when she goes outside, it doesn't get wet, and also to keep her from licking it.
hopefully the pain will get better soon...it is killing me to see her like this
my dd just got up and she saw maggie and the cast for the first time. I think now, she understands a little better what happened. but she seems to be ok...not down on herself like she was yesterday.
