Take one ice skating teenager, add in a bit of speed, introduce a metal railing and you’ve got yourself one seriously jammed thumb. Although it happened last Wednesday, writing is still a no-go since it hurts too much to bend his thumb to create a tri-pod grip. Thankfully, Padawan’s thumb is no longer shaped like a hotdog, but the black, blue and yellow coloring around the knuckles is a dead give-a-way that something is still not right in there. We shifted lessons around a bit to accommodate and, hopefully, he’ll be back to normal soon.
Ouch! That sounds painful, but I hope you had fun ice skating anyway. I guess this is a time for narration and dictation. Do you have any speech to text software? I’m just throwing out ideas.
When my son broke his right arm last year, homeschool got very interesting. I was chief scribe and bottle washer for three whole months. No one was happier for that kid to heal than mom!!! Hope he feels better soon!
Poor kid. I hope it continues to improve.
Yikes! A couple of years ago I had a teenaged babysitter who ended up with stitches after ice skating. I considered grounding her after that but apparently I didn’t have that power.
Hey- he’d look great next to my hubby who made a fingernail sandwich out of one of his fingers. A concrete block and a HEAVY board got him. It looks really, REALLY nasty.
