cinnamon dolce latte
ahhhhhhh it's soo good the starbucks cinnamon dolce latte! i'm having one right now and it was a good choice for my morning to perk me up.
right after bringing océane to her school, i headed to the nearest starbucks right on the opposite of saint philippe du roule catholic church. yes, hoping for a good tuesday like this coffee drink:-)

shit happens...
few days before the school winter break, exactly on 21st february, océane sprained her left foot at the school courtyard while playing with her friends. the evening was difficult -- she had swollen & painful foot that sleeping was very difficult. she shared the bed with us and we spent most of the night trying to make her feel comfortable.
first thing on the friday morning (before 8µam) was going to the clinic. we spent the entire morning at the clinic waiting & waiting... for the doctor, to be called in, for xray, xray result.... just lots & lots of waiting. a stabilising ankle brace for her left foot. saturday.. another visit to the doctor.... come wednesday, another visit to the doctor. thursday, another xray and come friday morning.. a visit to her pedia. this time, it was so much better. we really prefer her very reliable pedia.
diagnosis... yes sprain. a part of left foot moved/disaligned and needs to be straightened/healed. the stabilising ankle brace is the solution. she must wear it all the time (except when she'll be taking a shower & going to bed) until end of march. no sports for her at the school, no running, less movement, short walk, no jumping or climbing trees, etc.
it is not easy at all... winter break holiday has been changed. we are staying at home and hardly going out to keep océane's foot rested. restraining her movement is the most difficult task since she's very active girl.
then last friday afternoon, i got a flu virus... fever, cold & sore throat. i still have cold and i don't feel strong yet.
another thing, that started sunday evening or monday morning (whichever) is bernard's left kneecap is aching. as in walking is extremely painful. geez, he can hardly walk! then he is leaving for china on friday for a week work!
oh i tell you, shit really happens!!!
