Four Hours in ER
March 3, 2008/ Monday
Yesterday afternoon Justin went with some of his friends to the skateboard park. I hesitated in letting him go because he is still learning how to skateboard. My first answer was NO because he had just gotten a new board and had not used it yet. We then went to the Game Stop and got some movies, that Kristina wanted to get. Then we went by Wendy's and got lunch. We came home and I got a phone call and it was his friend calling saying that Kyle's Dad had brought them over to pick Justin up to go to the skate park. So i gave in and let Justin go with them against my MOM's intuition. (Never doubt Mom's intuition!)
Anyway, Justin went on to the park. In the meantime, James came home and said "Hey, there is a dog park at Wannamaker park, let's take the dogs there and give them some exercise." So we loaded up the dogs, and Kristina and went over to the park. We were hesitant to let the dogs off their leash for a while until we could tell it was safe. Once we did let them get off their leash, they had fun. It was fun watching all the different dogs interacting.
While we were there i got a call from Justin and he told me he had fallen. I figured he was just not happy being there. Told him to wait until Kyle's dad was to come and get them. However, after we were finished with the dog park i decided that maybe we needed to go get Justin after all.
Justin missed school today because he could hardly move his wrist. I wished we would have taken him to the ER last night but i was hoping that it wasn't serious. We put ice on it and elevated it at night.
After work i went and picked Justin up to take him to the clinic to get the wrist x-rayed. Normally we don't have a problem with going to the clinic and paying the deductable and seeing the dr. However, because it is new insurance with my new job it just took effect on Saturday, March 1st. (PTL for insurance!) I have not gotten the insurance card yet. The lady at the front desk said i was going to have to pay the dr. visit and x-rays etc up front.
I saw visions of it being expensive! So i decided that i would take him to the ER instead. We got there about 4:30 and did not get out of there until 8:30. Good thing it wasn't a "real" emergency!
After four hours later, Justin was diagnosed with a broken wrist. They put a temporary cast on him and we will have to go to the orthopedic dr. in the next three days to get his permanent cast on.
SO that was my day after work!
will write more later...
