The weather has been unseasonably warm the entire month of January. So the kids are loving it and playing outside, especially for recess. Vern's game of choice? Football of course. So he was playing the other day and went for a tackle. His ring finger hit another kids shoe.
ZOWIE did it look bad. Vern went to the nurse. She bandaged it, iced it, and called me. Well it was his dad's visitation weekend so I called his dad to warn him what happened. I asked him to please look at it and determine if he needed to go to the doctor.
Well Vern would NOT let dad look at it so we decided a trip to the doctor was in order. So off to the "clinic" we go. It is a Saturday so there are no regular doctor appointments. You must go wait in line like cattle for slaughter. On a good note we live in a small town so the lines are much shorter. We got there right as they were opening the doors and were #2 on the list.
Get in. Doc agrees it needs an x-ray. Get x-ray. Note to x-ray tech - tie your scrubs tighter, even at a size 4 we do not need to view your behind.
Results - no break - YEAH!
He still got a really cool (to him) splint and wore it all weekend and even to school on Monday. Vern tried to get out of guitar but I just made him remove splint. He decided he didn't need splint after that. Gotta love kids!
