Just hours after my niece and mother-in-law left town, Morgan tripped over the hose and broke her wrist! She initially came in screaming that her head hurt, she had smacked her head into the ground, so I had Brian take her down to urgent care. She left with a head injury and came home with a broken wrist. When we saw the Orthopedist we expressed our disappointment that she had done this one week into summer vacation. He told her if she promised to be very responsible he would give her a brace instead of a cast so she can swim.
The kind of break she has is what he called a buckle break. Instead of her wrist bone cracking it buckled so it's bowed on the xray. He says it hurts like crazy but is not as susceptible to further injury as a crack is.
Funny thing about this picture is that Connor, Gail's son, tore ligaments in his hand and they both just happen to have an appt. in orthopedics on the same day only 5 minutes apart so we were able to carpool.
