Every now and then in the life of a family, a broken bone comes along...or maybe several broken bones come along. Chris is laid-up from breaking 4-5 bones in his foot, with one bone also being "buckled". We have not gotten into a specialist yet, so we do not have any idea how bad it really is or how long it will take yet. Hopefully we will get into someone early next week.
The good news is that nothing was sticking out of the skin or even looked broken. I truly thought it was sprained and was in complete shock when they showed me the x-rays with all those little fractures near the joints. All he did was slip on the basketball court. His own weight and the way that he fell snapped the foot too far towards his shin and broke the bones all the way across his foot. Ouch!
OUCH!! He looks comfortable, though. I wouldn't mind having to lay on a couch for a while... as long as the bills still got paid...
ReplyDeletePoor baby, I hope it isn't too serious. I literally feel his pain, that is no fun.
ReplyDeleteUPDATE - Chris had an MRI tonight because the doc thinks a ligament might be detached. If it is, then surgery will be in the near future. Thank Heavens for modern medicine where we can see inside the body. In the past, people just became lame.
