Baby steps

I rattled about in this enormous hall today. A workshop for teachers; over 100 were invited, 30 said they were coming and only 12 pitched up. One of the comments on the evaluation form was that the training should be given to all teachers ... go figure. At least the 12 gained benefit.
I'm feeling tearful at the moment, like the weather. C's arm has already wasted so much in the 2.5 weeks since her op. She is really good about her physio which we've been doing together. I know things will improve over time but it's heart-breaking to see that skeletal, flaccid limb where a few weeks ago there was a tanned, muscular arm.
