muser - those hairline fractures are annoying little things! We are really hoping that my son's wrist is not fractured at all - it would be nice to just have ligament damage instead. Well, not nice - but you know what I mean!

HAVING HAD TWO TEENAGE SONS ONCE...EACH OF WHOM PLAYED SOCCER, ...
I FIGURED YOUR SON WAS EITHER IN A CAST OR EXPERIENCING HIS FIRST HANGOVER! i dealt with both when my sons still lived at home. my younger son fell off a skateboard...another story... and complained of pain in his wrist. we went to have it checked, had it xrayed...nothing showed up. the next morning, it was very swollen, and the doc said we had to wait until the swelling went down to treat it....then, when the swelling was gone, another xray revealed a hairline fracture. needless to say, a very hard lesson as he missed playing the rest of the season.

Frankenkitty - I agree, sports can be dangerous, so I believe in minimising the risks by being prepared. My son has exercises that he does to strengthen ankles and knees, two of the areas that are most at risk of injury. I'm also the sort of mother that whips him off to his physiotherapist any time he injures himself. His body is his vehicle to success, so its worth looking after!

lovelylady - thank you for the thoughts. The cast is getting itchy apparently, but he has discovered that one of my chopsticks works well as a scratcher. Needless to say, that chopstick will not be used for food again!

ginnie - the cast is already starting to bother him, although he's putting up with it ok. I'm hoping the attention he will get at school will help. The title just flashed into my mind - a bit of fun!

Ocean - thank you. Your comment does make me feel better about the treatment. The physiotherapist is a really good one. He has been spot on with his previous treatments too.

My wrist has been broken twice,
so I certainly feel for your son. Sports can be dangerous. It's a risk kids usually don't mind, but parents aren't always so willing to take. Good luck in his recovery

Cass,
Please give my regards to your son. I can well identify with his feelings of frustration...I've had ten surgeries, nine of which required plaster casts. Drove me bloody insane!! The worst part will be when the itching starts...I hope his wrist will heal properly. I'll keep him in my prayers.
God bless...Try to get some rest.

Ugh Cass...
...I'm sure it will start bothering him in a few days and he'll get frustrated at not being able to play...I'm impressed at his medical care! Nice work on their part! Love the title..thought didnt' think you'd write that if he really did get 'plastered'!

Most excellent physiotherapist!
Scaphoid fractures can be dastardly and can lead to bone death. So awesome the physio was right on it and got it treated properly! Hope your son heals quick.

Yeah, that title works here in the US too!
But I am sorry to hear that his plastered state will last so long! On the up side he won't be hung over afterwards...

Symphony - I'm glad you got the double meaning! I wasn't sure anyone would...lol. I think Australia and England share many similar words, considering most of our population was originally English.

May - you're right ten days is not long. But I think it feels more like ten years to my son! As for chauffering, well I don't have to take him to training this week so that is a bonus!

offbeat - well, we will see if he has any signatures after school on Monday. The poor thing is getting very frustrated with it.

Ten days is not too long if this means playing it safe--hey, maybe it will mean a break from chauffering
