I got a message form Ryder after school on Friday that he had jammed his left thumb while playing catch with a football during PE. He had a note from is orthopedist that he is not to participate in PE for three weeks. His thumb was twice its normal size and extremely bruised. I thought FOR SURE it was broken. So for the second time in less than two weeks, we headed for x-rays. Thankfully is was a really bad sprain. He came home from urgent care like this:
I am not going to lie. I almost completely lost it on him. According to the physician, had it been broken, he would have needed a cast for about 6 weeks. Soccer would have probably been over. So many things would have been such a hassle. We are so thankful that is not how it ended up and that everything is healing as it should. After knowing that everything was ok, we did get a chuckle that both hands were out of commission for the weekend...
