HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
|
Seems like injuries are a way of life sometimes...my older boy kept jumping over the backyard fence when he was 4...I told him to stop it, but he would not listen...one trip over, he caught his arm and ripped it open...needed 10 stitches...never did jump that fence again...
Then he was playing Tarzan at age 6, and called me out to see him swinging from the tree, and wound up with a hairline fracture of his arm...
The younger boy,when 2, kept twirling, and would not stop...twirled himself right into the sharp edge of the coffee table and nearly put his eye out...did require 3 stitches right next to his eye...
Then the younger boy at age 7 was playing football with the neighborhood kids, when he skimmed the top of his head on a sharp tree branch, and slice his scalp clear open...need about 5 stitches...
Yes, my kids had their share of injuries and ouchies, like most kids will get...
Thats okay, when I was 6, I showed the new boy on the block how to jump off the 1st floor porch without getting hurt...I broke my arm so severely, that I was in traction for a week, before they could find an orthopedic surgeon who thought he could set it(This was in the olden days of the 50s)...However, my arm is still somewhat crooked, and I cannot touch my shoulder at all...so when I was in the hospital during the 1970s, they X-Rayed my arm to see if they could rebreak it, and with newer technology, fix it better...
After they saw the X-Rays, and they could see how badly the arm and elbow had originally been fractured,they declined to do anything further...said that the doc who set that arm during the 1950s must have been a genuis, considering the severe damage to my arm...
So for the grief I caused my parents, with my willfullness leading to injury, my sons truly paid me back in full.

I remember one year when we were on vacation up in NH we did this whole "perils of pauline" type thing. Dad had found this huge hunk of styrofoam that looked like a boulder - we had it roll off the roof of the cabin on my mother and my brother and I were the heros!!!
