the boy injured himself playing football. when i examined him, it was obvious his right wrist was not the normal shape. our worst fears were confirmed when xrays showed that he had fractured 2 bones. he braved thru the pain & only cried after he found out he had to go for surgery. i thought that was rather valiant.
the advantage of working in a hospital is that you get things sorted out in double-quick time. it took just an hour from A&E to xray to OT. the procedure involved inserting 2 wires to stabilise the fractures, followed by an arm cast, which he has to keep on for a month.

he can still go to school, but he can't have music lessons till the cast is removed in a month & no more football or other contact sports for a further 2 months. his friends provide much moral support by visiting him in hospital & at home, bringing gifts to soften the blow (pun definitely intended!)....
of course, in line with tradition, they get to autograph his cast...
and by God's grace, he is a left-hander.

A mum's worst nightmare. Guess when the dad is a doc it's not so bad. Fortunately it's not his writing hand.
He gets to get special attention for a couple of weeks!
When we are young , our injuries get healed pretty quick . At my age - it's gonna take ages to get back on track !
& yup ! by the grace of God , he will be healed in no time :)
brave boy. and very sweet of his friends. I've read before that lefties are generally high achievers. President Obama is a leftie! ;)
