It's been a long week! So glad to have him in a cast from the elbow down. The splint that went up past the elbow was rough. He went with florescent green! Cracks me up the difference in the hair cut. It was driving him nuts, the bangs in his face..so I took him in and had it washed and cut. Those bangs are so darn short, but bless his heart, that's how he likes em! haha.

Ouch, looks like a bone break to me, and I know from experience, EXTREMEly painful. Glad to see him smiling!
Thanks, Stan! Yep..both the radius and ulna down by the wrist. He's better now that the cast is on..that splint was a pain! He did it ice skating.
At least he was in control (or out of control, as the case probably was) of things. When I broke my ankle, I had no control. I was sitting on the back of a motorcycle, and the driver decided to cut to the right of the car in front of us instead of stopping (like he was supposed to.) The only thing that hit the car was my ankle, and it bounced between the car and the chainguard, giving me slight cracks (the same current injury as Yau Ming, except his fracture was caused by stress) on both sides of my ankle. It's the most physically painful thing I've ever experienced.
Wow! How pissed were YOU?! Yeah, that sounds like it would hurt pretty good.
It hurt too much to be pissed off. There was no retaliation of any kind (ie; we didn't sue or even try to get compensated from his parents), it was an accident.
Yeah the accident was caused by stupidity, but it was still an accident. Either my parents or our insurance took care of it.
Tough. At least it is the left arm, (unless he's left-handed) though it's no less painful. I broke my wrist in HS playing football and my hand was pushed back about half an inch, causing a couple of bones in my wrist to break. Breaking those bones in the arm has to be rough. I've had the wrist break and a fractured thumb, but never a "clean" break like what seems happened here. Get well soon T!
I've broken some bones too playing sports, seems like all boys do.
He chair tho!seems like he's enjoyin that
There's some of that 4 sure, of course being in junior high school and having a cast is something of a celebrity thing, 4 a short 15 minutes.
Problem is, when he gets to my age and when the weather is about to get cold every year and you feel your injury from 40 years ago every year ...
Linda, don't tell your kid about this phenomenon, as there's probably no way to avoid it anyWAY.
I wondered about that..the feeling it later when he was older. I kinda figured it wouldn't happen, but now that I hear THAT. Nah, I won't tell him..no sense in puttin it in his brain.
Yeah, but it's nothing like the pain of the initial break. It's just a reminder you get every year.
Lol...that's SO not comforting for a mom. ;)
For me, the pain doesn't usually set in until you start to realize what happened and your brain realizes it should be feeling pain. Adrenaline covers over the pain until you have time to process what just happened. I think the important thing will be getting a good physical therapist and really doing what he/she says to aid in the recovery process after the cast comes off.
My good friend Nestor -

So until you realize what your right wing extremist lying-type propaganda campaign is doing to you, well, *WE* (me and Linda) see your future.
