Times they are a changin' here at the Lair.
Never tried to publicly air my laundry, dirty or otherwise, although I do like that "fresh air scent".
Try to keep up, it's a fast moving game and anyone can play.....
Thoughts?
Questions?
Anyone want a mint?

Dwarfism

Posted 21st January 2015 at 05:18 PM by Dragonlady

My granddaughter has been diagnosed with it. Not the usual kind, something less serious. She should get to be about 4' to 4'10". Tall enough to be pretty functional, but disproportionate. Enough that children will notice and most certainly be unkind. No other health issues are expected, although she may have back problems.
The family is doing pretty well with it. Many jokes about Mordor, and chocolate factories and yellow brick roads. We have no experience with it, I guess we will all figure it out as we go.
So... interesting, not tragic.

    It's ok to be sad about this. It's a challenge she will have to live with. It's ok for you to not have to downplay it. Sure it could be worse, and looking on the bright side can be useful. But it's also ok to just be sad about it for a while too.

    Is that her in your avatar?

    Nope, different grandaughter.
    Mostly, right now, it is just an interesting something that will one day be a pain in the ass, mostly for her.
