Third year in a row
You might remember last year, when we had a little mishap the first day of school. The year before that, HT also had a trip to urgent care that in spite of an initial diagnosis of "sprain" was actually a broken thumb. This year, for the third year in a row, we've had a child in urgent care within 24 hours of school beginning. Last week, JC had fallen off HT's skateboard. She mentioned that her foot hurt, but was back outside and running just minutes later. I really gave it no more thought until Saturday, when she mentioned to us again that it hurt. At that point we noticed it was a bit swollen, but it had been less than 48 hours so we decided to see what happened. By last evening, she was talking about how it hurt just standing in the shower. Because she has a really high pain tolerance, I was concerned that there was something truly seriously wrong that it still hurt four days later. JC and my husband were off to urgent care again last evening. Fortunately there is no fracture (assuming they've read the xray correctly!) and they are thinking it has more to do with her tendons or ligaments. She's not to do gym or any phys ed activities for this week and hopefully she'll be good as new very soon!
