Rough Evening at Gym Practice

by David on October 5th, 2009

IMG_2310_px600x450When I picked Justus up from practice this evening, everything seemed fine.  He was walking and cutting up with his friends like normal as he came out to the truck.  Once he got in the car he proceeded to tell me he fell backwards from a handstand on parallel bars.  He said he didn’t know what to do, so he just closed his eyes and said to himself, “Oh snap…”

He fell on his backside from what we can tell, but not before hitting his inside ankle and right armpit on the bar on his way down.  When I got him home, I inspected his armpit and found a large red welt.  We iced him down before bed: one pack on the ankle under the Ace bandage, and one under the cellophane rap around his right shoulder.

All seems well.  We’ll see how he feels tomorrow.

    WOW! J-MAC! You are ONE TOUGH CHARACTER – with the bruises and scars to prove it! It kind of takes my breath away to think about it…….Here’s hoping that the shoulder and ankle return to normal SOON!

    Justus,

    Hope you heal quickly, Justus! Ice is a good thing to do for swelling.

    Luv ya!
