Muscles.

My 5yo just had her second hip surgery and she's in a hip spica cast again, from hip to ankle- one leg only to the knee. So heavy, and I think I was stronger last surgery, and that her being like 5lbs lighter made a difference, because I am all kinds of sore from lifting her. I'm lifting from the legs, but my back is still involved, and my upper back and shoulders hate me today. Gah. I don't carry her far- lift off wheelchair, turn, set on bed. Lift off bed, slide down to beanbag. Etc.

Yep, if I'm not stronger after all this, I'd be really surprised. Just under four more weeks of the lifting a 46lb child in a cast that feels like it weighs as much as she does, but probably doesn't.

I am in no way complaining about doing what I can for my daughter; just that I am strong like hamster.
