So after my "fun" weekend that some of you know about, I wound up taking the kids roller skating with a friend of the family. Kids were having a blast until Zoe's 14th or 15th fall caught up with her, and she hurt her arm. Wound up going to Urgent Care to get it checked out, just to be safe. Forearm X-rays were clear, and then we were about to be sent home with a clean bill of health, but then she brought up her wrist hurting. Another exam and 3-4 x-rays later, and we get a splint, a sling, and a referral to an ortho doc.
She's in good spirits, though. Took her out for Krystal's Chili Cheese Fries (one of her favs), and she's all smiles and thumbs-up.
The doc said it's a Salter-Harris Type 1, so from the insanely little I know about that, it's the least serious of those. We'll see what the ortho doc says, but worst case it's a cast and she gets all her friends to sign it. We even started talking about colors she could get if it comes to it. I figure it's a "probably" for the cast, just to be safe, if nothing else.
I'm SO glad if this had to happen, it was after she went on her horseback riding trip on Saturday morning. She had so much fun this weekend, even though it didn't go as planned. I'm glad she's able to keep her spirits high... and also glad we had two trained nurses sitting with us at the skating rink, who sent us to the new Urgent Care center which turns out to be where my old Primary Care physician now works.
Crazy weekend.
