Bedrest


Colin broke his pelvis during a football game on Sunday. He is in a lot of pain but is in good spirits. The poor kid is on bedrest for weeks, maybe months. We'll find out more details on Friday after we see the sports medicine people.
I know I said I was bored being home with just Brooke in the afternoons and that I was looking for something to do. This isn't what I meant...

(Kelsey did something funky to his hair)
I don't think he thought his first set of wheels would be these ones.

A bunch of kids came by today after school to say hello and brought him a card and a new video game. A couple of his friends stayed and played and hung out.I think he's just happy to talk to someone besides me.
We're praying for a quick recovery. Hopefully he'll be back to school in a couple of weeks. He'll be rocking a wheel chair for school but, it's much safer than trying to do crutches.

You're still the handsomest boy around, even w/ a busted pelvis! ;)
What good friends you have, I bet they miss you.
You get some quality time w/ Mum though...enjoy that! I'm sure she's getting you anything you'd like. Good Mommy!

Erin, I was thinking the same thing! If anyone can make a wheelchair cool it's going to be Colin. I hope everything goes well on Friday. This stinks. Feel better! I will cook/bake or buy you anything you'd like. I'll call tomorrow and take your order.

auntie jelly belly uses a wheelchair, colin. don't feel bad. problem is, i am in the wheelchair so much i now suffer from edema and hair loss in various places. some better than others (if you know what i mean!)--
anyways, the trick is in rolling downhill. i always enjoy an old downhill stroll through the neighborhood. problem is, when you weigh 457 l.b.'s, is finding the right guy to help you home.
that's when i call your second cousin carl. YES-- he still lives with me!
again i just wanted to note that being handicapped, whether momentarily or permanantly, actually causes one to reflect upon thier life with the wit and sarcasm of a sharp tongued poet.
my current fave is yeats, who once said:
"if the drive-through is ten deep, your best bet is to go inside."
remember that, because i think handicapped people also get a buck of the #7 extra value meal-- but they gotta see the wheelchair to prove it!

might i ask, why isn't that one on the drive-thru menu anymroe?!?!?

Aside from feeling AWFUL that Colin is hurting, Katie that was PRETTY DAMN FUNNY!
I hope Colin got a laugh.
