My DH and I sure know how to have a good time

[ElizK]

DH came home from his Karate class hobbling on his cane. Couldn't put any weight at all on his right leg. So we head to CareNow. 2hrs later we're sent to the ER. 3 hrs and a CT later, we're headed home. At 230am. He broke his knee. Doesn't that sound like a fun way to spend the evening before Thanksgiving??? But I am very thankful that it doesn't look like he'll need surgery.

So, do we know how to have a good time, or what????

It sure sounds like it! But for a truly awesome good time - you would have broke your DH's knee with the cane.....

Glad to hear that he shouldn't need surgery.

I bet you are super-tired.

Aw I am sorry to hear of the injury! Good that he doesn't need surgery, but painful and inconvenient anytime, especially on a holiday. I hope he feels better, that the healing goes smoothly, and that you both catch up on your sleep soon.

Wish I'd have thought of it! Yep, super tired. I got up at my regular wake-up time of 730am (actually, that's my regular sleep-in wake-up time ). Luckily I'm not doing the big feast. I could potentially be pretty darn grumpy.

What kind of karate classes does he take? My son takes Rye Kyu Kempo Karate.

He's in American Karate. He was supposed to test for his Black belt in January. He's been looking forward to this for so long. There's no way he'll be able to do it now.

ETA DD10 is a blue belt in American Karate, too! How old is your son?

 

[becjlek]

He is 13. He started 2 years ago. He is a brown belt now.

He was faking. He just didn't want to give you the chance to run away from home .

Seriously, though - Sorry to hear about his knee . I hope it's heals quickly and is not huge setback. Maybe it's time to cut out the Karate classes for a few months?

I am so busted!

He doesn't have any choice about the classes for awhile. He won't be able to put any weight on the leg for a number of weeks. We'll go see the orthopedist (however the heck you spell that) on Monday.

Some of you might remember back on Father's Day weekend that he was in an accident, and I received a call saying he was in the hospital with a skull fracture (turned out it was a broken nose and orbital bone -- technically a skull fracture, but not as bad as I was imagining). We haven't even finished paying for that little incident! and now this! ACK!!! Here's the link to that: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=842680

He's actually doing pretty well as long as he stays still. He hasn't taken anything for pain since we left the hospital.
