Finally, a little bit of good news
It’s not often these days that I feel a sense of relief. I worry constantly about my kids. That never seems to go away.
Today we saw the sports injury specialist to find out what’s wrong with A’s ankle. I was very nervous about what could possibly be wrong with it.
Turns out A has an extra bone in his foot, as pictured here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Os_trigonum_1.jpg
When his foot was extended during a tackle and other players landed on it, that extra bone hit his tibia, causing a bone bruise.
The Dr. said, “Tape it, brace it, tape it again…the less it moves, the better, but you are cleared to practice this week and to play on Friday.”
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen A so happy.
Phew! What a relief!
