Superior Timing

We're about half way through basketball season. Mid-terms are starting on Wednesday. What better time to have a severe sprain of your right wrist?

S3 spent the weekend at his friends' house skating. He came home around 11 PM on Saturday swollen and purple. He didn't want to tell his friend's mom because she would have made them stop skating so he and I spent Sunday morning at urgent care. The doc there said he was pretty sure it was a sprain and not a growth plate fracture so they splinted him up and sent us home. He's not allowed to skate or play basketball for two weeks. He was pretty ok with everything until on the ride home he realized that the air-hockey championships are this week and he's in the lead. Now he won't be able to play. Yeah, that's what we should be most upset about.

I'm a killer air hockey player. It is one of my more useless talents, but it did help me woo several boys back in college ;)
