Just need to whine (long)
Ugh this past week has been so stressful! I have 2 teenage boys who both play football. At my oldest sons season opener a few weeks ago he took a hard hit to his thigh and his leg kept bothering him. Fast forward to last Wednesday my husband picks him up from practice and he was in so much pain, a teammate hit his leg in the same spot. His leg swelled up so much it was scary. Went to urgent care and they were worried about compartment syndrome so off to the ER we went with the possibility of surgery. Thankfully it was not compartment syndrome. We went to an orthopedist Monday and he believes his leg is super bruised inside but he's worried that he tore something in his knee. So now we wait 3 weeks for swelling to go down and figure out the next step.
Now today my 13 yr old had his first game. This other team was hard!! My sons team only has about 5 experienced players, including him, on the team. Well let's see of the 5 one had to come out from a concussion, another a punctured vein in his leg, one was just getting tore up and then my son tackled a kid which made the other kid mad so he hit him from behind and knocked my son forward. He caught himself with his arm and broke it. So now we get to go get a cast tomorrow, which happens to be my 1st appt since 11 weeks and I was really looking forward to it but depending on when they can fit my son in I might have to reschedule.
With both of them playing football for so long injuries are nothing new, but they've never been injured at the same time let alone injuries that will most likely take them out for the season. We just need to catch a break!
