Return of the Buckle Fracture

The Days of Summer have been a careful mix of boys staying at home and trying not to drive Dad too nuts while he works.  Some days included a quick walk from the house over to Court One to swim.  You could bike, but, the most direct route is to walk back through the woods behind our hose, across the railroad tracks, and there you are.

Yesterday, as the boys were walking, they saw some deer.  Fric, pictured above, decided to chase after said deer, tripped, put out his arm as he landed and well, Dad was called for an emergency pickup.

Buckle fracture of the radius bone; exactly what Matthew did 7 months ago, except this time it is the left arm, not the right.  Should be out of the cast on August 30th.  Will play havoc with football practice (which starts Monday), but, the first week is only running and he should be able to dress in pads and helmet without contact until the cast comes off.  Could be a lot worse I guess.
