Collecting Crutches

Poor Raider is back on the injured list!! Nothing broken, but he has "sustained an injury to the foot." The doctor said it is a typical fooball injury and just to ensure that Raider didn't damage it any further he put it in a cast. Not the most fun thing for Raider since he will now miss out on football practice the rest of the summer and possibly into the school year. In addition he has highschool camp in 2 weeks and we will be going on vacation shortly after that. Poor guy has to be crippled through the rest of the summer!

I thought it was funny that he now has 2 pair of crutches (one the doctor gave him earlier in the week and another that the foot doctor gave him today). He would have had 3 pairs (from his sprained ankle a couple months ago) but we had just dropped them off at the goodwill (which he was not very happy about!). This time we will make sure to keep a pair on hand since we seem to have established a new pattern.
