Took my son skiing the last 2 days. My #1 concern was an injury. Sure enough, 1 hour into skiing today broke his leg. Talk about a long, draining day.
Ugh I am sorry! I imagine you are exhausted.
I hope the prospects for his recovery are strong and his pain is manageable. 😕
@Minholkin thank you. He had about 2.5 hours of trauma and is exhausted. the splint and Motrin have been enough to at least make things tolerable until we can get in Monday for a cast.
@Minholkin that's the weird part -- it's not swollen at all and there's no discoloration. i have the x-ray and it's clearly fractured.
unfortunately by the time they got everything situated and whatnot the orthopedics were out the door so he got a splint. tried calling for a Monday appointment but everyone was closed, so I went to voicemail and just hope they can get us in first thing Monday.
I'm glad there doesn't appear to be complications around the fracture, and it sounds like he's tolerating it well, all things considered.
Ah, the stories life gives us to tell!
@dbinkowski
Too soon for a cast? Need to ensure swelling goes down?
What a disappointing and worrisome turn of events.
