Freedom(ish) Posted By sheila on July 2, 2012 Well, we had to queue for two and a half hours, but eventually they took my son’s plaster off. And then they put a bandage on, which has to stay on (and stay dry) for a week. So he still needs help to get a shower, but not for much longer.

She used to work as a software engineer at the observatory, but now she's a writer and Starlight guide.
