A few weeks ago, Phil, Jon and Randy played in a 3 on 3 basketball tournament in Comstock. This is the second year they played in this tournament that Randy’s brother organizes. Erin, Liza, Natalie and I showed our support for a few games and then decided that we better make an appearance at Greater Galesburg days (as neither Liza nor I had ever been there). The boys were exhausted (I think they started to realize they aren’t as young as they think) and the girls had a great time at our summer festival.
After we left the basketball tournament, my husband (being the competitive person that he is) dove for a basketball during one of their games and landed on his right wrist. After much convincing that evening, he finally made a trip to the emergency room. Here is my medical expert explanation of what happened. His thumb bone smashed into one of his wrist bones and broke a piece of his thumb bone off. So they put him in a partial cast and recommended we see an orthopedic hand surgeon the following week. He spent about a week and a half in the cast before we saw the other doctor.
The hand doctor took more x-rays and determined that none of the bones were broken, aside from the chip so as long as he was not having pain, then it was not necessary to put on a permanent cast. So they removed his cast and told him to take it easy (sorry guys, no soccer tournament this year). We were both very excited… Phil so he can still participate in the Shermanator (the sprint triathalon he has been training for in August) and me so he could start changing diapers again!

Sounds to me like he landed on his WRONG wrist.......ha ha ha. I ended up fine after the severe back spasm's stopped, not that it is a big deal.
