We keep the Doctors HAPPY!!!

As if I don't already worry enough, this last week was a toughie!! Last Saturday Nathan was complaining of a side ache and we also felt a bump. So Monday we made an appointment and took him to the doctor. The doctor was suspicious of the bump and decided that we should get an ultrasound. Thursday was the day of the ultrasound and by then of course he felt a little better, but we still felt the bump. We took him in and it is a case of swollen lymph nodes. This is quite common and if it didn't get better we were supposed to take him back in. We have not seen high fever and his pain is gone so we are in good shape with that! (Knock on wood!!) :)

On Tuesday night we had a baseball game. Now I will admit that I am not always full of grace, but what happened was not just me laying down on the job!! I was at 2nd base and the 3rd baseman threw a ball to me, I went up to catch it and I tripped over the base and the runner. I caught myself with my right arm, which I think hyper extended. I finished the game in a little pain and went home. It still hurt in the morning (it hurt bad, I don't go to the Dr. for just a muscle ache) so we went into the Dr. I had a radial head fracture, I think is what he called it. I am too old to be breaking things. It is really hard to do much without your right arm. So be thankful for all your limbs!! I know I am!
