Sean Broke His Foot
August 14, 2009
Monday morning during PE Class, Sean rolled his foot on the basketball court while playing capture the flag. It was hurting him when I picked him up from school, but he was still able to walk on it. I sent him to football practice, but after about a 1/2 hour the coach noticed that he was limping way too much. We thought it was a severe bruise at that point, so we treated it by icing it down.
When we didn’t see any improvement after nearly 48 hours, so we decided to take him in for an X-Ray. Sure enough, it was a small bone chip on the side of his foot. They gave us some crutches and we then took a trip over to the Orthopedic Doctor to get him fitted with a walking boot.
We see the orthopedic doctor again in three weeks. He will wear the walking boot for the next few weeks to support the foot while it heals. He doesn’t have to sleep in it. His first football game isn’t scheduled until Sept 12th. I don’t expect him to play in that game but we are hoping for a quick healing and a chance for him to play in the game on the 19th or the first week in October. That might give him a chance to play in at least some of the games. He will still be going to practice and helping out the team in any way he can. That way the season won’t be a total loss.
Now we just have to figure out how to get him in decent shape for the season with out the 4 weeks of conditioning. We plan do some weight training on the Bowflex.
My Poor Blog
June 1, 2009
Oh my poor little blog. How I have neglected it lately! It’s not really by choice, but things have become hectic around here. It probably sounds old, but with work and the kids now doing something damn near every night, time for Mr Papa’s World has been limited. I have managed to do little “Quick Thoughts” blurbs in the sidebar, but that doesn’t really count. Those “Quick Thoughts” get cross posted on Facebook and Twitter and most folks respond to them there since there isn’t any kind of notification about a new post here at Mr Papa’s World.
Being June now, I hope to try to post more about the family happenings. We sure are busy enough to blog about something!
Oh, to get it started, Sean’s baseball team won their second game of the season last weekend. It goes along with their 15 or 16 losses unfortunately. It was a nail biter, as they entered the final inning up 13 – 6, but had to hang on for a final score of 13 – 12. We also received word that the team is going to fore go the playoff system this year and instead just play games. So, that means baseball games up until about the end of July. At two or three games a week, that makes for a hefty season. The heat is already high around here, so luckily, all games will be at night. The season should finish up just in time for football practice to begin for Sean.
This weekend, we have Savannah’s Summer Dance Recital. It’s a two night affair – though I think Sean has a game one night – with Savannah doing like a dozen dances. I really need to do a post about her continued baking work. Until then…
