In my first post I mentioned that I had been sitting in the doctors office. The reason why is that the week before, Joseph twisted his ankle during gym class.
Apparently, he and his friends were running at the wall and climbing one step up the padding, turning around and running back. It seems that when Joseph turned, his decided that it should continue in the previous direction. After "sleeping it off", we took him to the hospital the next morning for x-rays and saw circular swelling on the outside of his ankle.
Thankfully the fracture clinic was running that morning, so we came home with a temporary cast. The follow-up visit to our family doctor provided my initial observations for the blog, and led to a new cast for Joseph, to last for the next four to six weeks.
Joseph's first choice was a hot pink cast, but then he decided on this one. We thought he would have wanted the camouflage pattern, but then figured it would have been too hard to make out the signatures from his friends. So rainbow mix it is.
And now you know the rest of the story.
