Josh's Bad Break


Yes, the only person in our family ever to break a bone has done it again!
It was a Saturday morning, and we were on our way to soccer games.  I made the twins come with me, just to get them out of the house.  They brought a basketball.  They played basketball.  They argued over the basketball.  And Josh got shoved and fell on his shoulder and ended up with a broken collarbone.  
Oh brother.

We only had one car at the game, and the girls weren't done yet, so we left Price and Ethan there with the girls and I drove Tim and Josh home, where they got into Tim's car and drove to the urgent care.  He got xrays, pain medication (which he never used) and a sling.  Also a couple of days off of school.

I was amazed at what was either his lack of pain or his high tolerance for it.  Seriously- I gave him ibuprofen the first night, but he never wanted anything after that.  Today (about 3 weeks later) he is cleared to stop wearing the sling, and he should be okay for basketball in a couple of months.

Hey Josh- let's not do this again, okay?
