Weekend of the Broken Arms

Nope, not either of my kids this time. Repeat, NEITHER of my children broke their arms!!!! :-)

But as far as I can tell, about everyone else I know did. Well, OK, so really two people.....

I got a message on my phone yesterday from Adrianne with the following picture:

Kathy and her arm!

Yep, Kathy fell in Williamsburg. Scraped her hands, banged up a knee, and somehow or another managed to break her radius! Luckily the hotel they were staying at was able to help get her to an urgent care center, where they cleaned her up and gave her a sling (but did not cast it). She'll go to her physician here today to get it checked out further

(funny aside: Kathy, Adrianne and I all go to the same physician; Adrianne and I between the two of us have been there about every other week since Thanksgiving. Kathy is very proud that she hasn't, and was convinced she was going to make it till June when her next regular check up is...but, yeah, not so much! Bwa ha ha ha ha!!!)

Then, as I was leaving the house this morning, I got a call from Peter's friend Blake's Dad. Blake fell skateboarding over the weekend, and his arm is still bothering him, so his Dad wanted to know which urgent care ortho-pod I took MY kids to! Yeah, kinda sad that I've become the expert on broken arms....

So, stay the heck away from my kids, because apparently they're passing along their propensity for breaks!
