All Thumbs

Day 1:
Bad news - Jarin pops his right thumb out of joint at the end of football practice.  His coach popped it back in.

Day 2:
Good news - Jarin skips practice to go to the Utah Football game.  His coach now knows the truth of Jarin's plan to get out of practice.

Day 4:
Bad news - Game time.  His thumb is wrapped poorly due to parents who don't know what they are doing.  He ices it all weekend.

Day 9:
Bad news - Thumb is still hurting after several practices.  Hmmm, fracture?

Day 10:
Bad news - Thumb x-rayed.  Fracture on growth plate and the on-call doctor says Jarin is out for the season.

Day 11:
Bad news - Jarin watches the game on the side-lines.

Day 13:
Good news - Sports Medicine doctor casts thumb and gives Jarin the thumbs up (ha ha) to play football.

Day 13:
Good news - Jarin pads up and plays.
Bad news - no playing piano and writing is difficult among other things.

Lesson learned:  Parents -  next time skip to Day 10 and be done by Day 2.
                           Jarin - think of an easier way to get out of practice.
(sigh)

Just laughing because we all do it. Parker popped a rib cap and we didn't really believe how bad it was because he is kinda prone to hyperbole. After two weeks it got put back in place... and he could breathe again!
