Bad Break

Well, it was a moderately bad break for Caz.  The first bad injury for one of our family while playing football.        He got hurt on D, while going to the ground and bracing for impact.  He got caught in a pile up at the same time, with another player hitting his wrist at the same time.  What is amazing, is that he stayed in for two more plays and had to make tackles on both.
     I was warming up Coco's team at the time.  When I came onto the field he was on the bench with the EMT.  His wrist was wrapped with ice on it.  It was week and trembling.  Something was definitely wrong.  Demi brought him up to the hospital.  X-Rays showed a distal radial fracture.  The doctor had to give him Oxy and then set the break.  Caz was a trooper through it all.  Final diagnosis was out for 6 weeks.  Caz was crushed.  That was the balance of the season.  Caz asked for a cast he could play with but was told no. This was the right call.  It's not worth it for 8th grade football.  However, he is shooting for a return during the playoffs.
