Well broken again! Maybe.

Almost this time exactly last year we were at the ER with broken collar bone.  Today it's a possible fracture of the outer foot bone.  Hawk twisted his foot on his way out of the gym on his way to his last track meet.  Xray shows a looks a little fussy where the ligament attaches to bone - hard to tell yet if its swelling or broken.  If he is not able to apply weight still in 2 weeks then it back to x-ray.  For now its crutches, ace bandage and air cast!  I am beginning to think I should have gone to school to be a Dr. or maybe married an Arabian Prince to pay for our medical bills.

It required a deep search in the basement for the crutches.  (Why they moved with us is beyond me!)  But there they were ironically in the ski cabinet.  Since I first used these crutches back in 1992 after a ski accident that pulled my knee ligament. Then Dan Sr. when he did the same thing that Hawk has just done (only he was playing Volley Ball - Gross I still remember watching that injury happen!) also in the later part of the 90's.  

Crutches are not something you look forward to passing on to your children.  But saved me $50 bucks at least for storing them as long as we have.  Hopefully they will be stored again for a long time before they come out again - even better would be that they stay tucked in the back of the ski cabinet where my ski's have sat untouched since having children!

Last years break
