First Day Snowboarding

It really stinks when you go snowboarding for the

first time of the season and you take a couple

of hard falls and hurt your right wrist.

Then you continue to snowboard for the whole day.

Then you go to the doctor the next day because

you had better things to do on a Saturday night

than go have it looked at.

Then they tell you it just looks like it is sprained

and bruised and to just take ibuprofen and ice it

for a couple of days.

Then you get this sweet splint to wear for a couple

of days.

Then the nurse calls when you get home

and tells you that the radiologist says it looks 

like there could be a small fracture and to

have it checked out at the end of the week

to make sure.

Then you can't cut your dinner up because you are

right handed and your mom has to do it for you.

Then you can't button your pants and probably won't

be able to do your homework either.

But you can still play X-Box!!!!

 This isn't the first time Kalen has gotten hurt the 

first day of the snowboarding season.  He broke his arm

a few years ago on the 2nd run of the day.  Funny thing he was with the

same friend both times!  The last time was worse.  One friend stayed with

him while the other went and got the ski patrol

 and they took him down the hill on a sled.  

Eric had to go get him and he threw up in the car 

because the pain meds made him sick.

He still loves to snowboard!
