The Chronicles of Broken Boy

Once upon a time there was a little boy. He was a little boy who had a lot of energy and his mother was usually tearing out her hair in the wake of his destruction. She wasn't quite sane and let's be honest, sanity, how much do we need it and is it like "beauty"...in the skull of the beholder?? (hmm..more on this at a later time)

Anyway, one day this little boy had a friend come over and he was so excited!! He had been waiting all day and was practising his latest dance move. The door bell rang and Little Friend and his mother came over. The boy was super excited by now! If only we had harnessed that energy for good...(tsk tsk stk)...

The song starts blaring, the boy takes his starting position and off he went. The dance moves that came one after another and we were mesmerized! (not really, but we indulged him...hehe)
** DRAMATIC MUSIC STARTS **
And that's when it happened...that's when bones were bent, ankles were twisted and the little boy broke his leg!!!

After looking over his ankle and leg, his little play date was sent home (we will reschedule for a follow up performance), and we went off to the Children's Hospital.

After some time and x-rays, we find out that the little boy has a SPIRAL TIBIA FRACTURE. I have that highlighted because it's a big deal. Either way the little boy has now been dubbed BROKEN BOY!!!And this is chapter one of how we are surviving 6-8 weeks in a cast and what feels like solitary confinement!!
