Moral support, I guess.

Sitting in the examination room at the local ER with my daughter and granddaughter. Said youngster broke her wrist when she fell off the monkey bars yesterday afternoon. Looked like a bad sprain, so Mama wrapped and iced it down for the night. Looked a little worse this morning so took her for X-rays and it is fractured. Waiting on the Doc now to reset it. She’s not a happy camper.

Got my granddaughter howling like coyotes, making the monkey sound, and siren sound. Cant wait until I can get her here for a couple more days.

Wishing the young girl a speedy recovery.

Sitting in urgent care right now, sliced my left thumb the whole length at 9:30 last night, so I know it will need some repair. frown

They took the monkey bars and that giant ass slide that had the 30ft ladder on it out of the school playground.

too many fragile little angels where getting hurt

They also took the high dives out of our local public pools.

A broken bone here and there is part of growing up, IMO.

Absolutely. A good parent or grandparent is there for them when it happens but doesn’t shield them from it.

The cool thing is that young ones heal up really quickly. It’s almost like God saw this coming and made provisions for it.

The not as easy part of being a grandpa. Get her favorite treat afterward and give her lots of love.

Normal for kids until their growth plates fuse. Broken wrists and ankles, esp the middle school years.
