Casts AWAY!
Just when the summer brightens with the removal of PB's cast after surgery 4 weeks ago, my Eldest went and crashed on his Heelys walking from the parking lot to a swim meet at Coleman pool. After swimming two excruciating events in which he added 10 seconds to each, we left and went to urgent care. He crashed on his scooter last year right before the same meet at this same pool. Coleman Pool, often thought of as a Seattle landmark (my ass!), with it's half mile hike from lot to pool, will forever more be know as the cursed pool of Eldest's youth.
The diagnosis was "assumed scaphoid fracture." Assumed you say? Yep, this is one of the most complex fractures to diagnose. They have to treat it blind since often the fracture doesn't show up on xrays until 10 days later when it's to late too set properly. So we have a cast. There goes PNS Long course Champs and Mid-Lakes "A" Champs. So much for all those private lessons, clinics, early morning practices. Bummer!
I've got two broken swimmers (PB isn't allowed to dive at meets) and one who decided he finally would swim his first meet on the last meet of the season. Ack!
On the good side, Eldest will have some free time with this cast until we get a follow-up xray. He's started his first blog. OOOOOHHH! Makes a Mom proud. check it out here:
