Josh fell wrong on his hand during the alumni soccer game last Saturday night and wondered if he might have fractured his wrist. Monday morning I brought him to the Insta-care for x-rays. He had also twisted his ankle and it was swollen and so we got that checked out also. They said that the ankle was not broken, but they were not sure about the wrist. They couldn't see a fracture, but since it was in the anatomical snuff box they wanted him to get checked out by an orthopedic specialist. Then a few hours later the clinic called and said that the radiologist looked at the film and there actually was a fracture.
We were able to get in to the orthopedic specialist on Tuesday (I was able to get out of my interpreting job) and Dr. Millward looked at the x-rays and said that this type of fracture (if there was one) was hard to decipher. He said to keep the splint on it and come back in ten days and they would x-ray again and be able to tell if it had healed with the splint or if it would need to be put in a cast. He said if it needed to be cast then it is a big cast that would need to be worn 8-12 weeks. So hopefully next week's appointment has good news. Josh thinks he won't need the cast because he said that it is feeling a lot better than it was.
In the meantime, the doctor said that Josh could still play soccer, so that is good news. I brought Jaiden, Jenna, and Jenna's friend Grace to watch his game tonight in Hurricane. Josh's JV team beat Hurricane's team 7-0 and the Varsity won 4-0. So it was a good night!
