My son fell off the bed while playing around and broke both bones in his right arm. We'll talk to a pediatric orthopedic surgeon tomorrow to learn if he needs surgery or not. Either way it's 6-8 weeks in a cast. I've seen nastier breaks on the field, but when its your child...Well, I did the best I could, and that's all I can do.

I'll do my best to check in early next week - but I ask your forgiveness if I'm not able to log in for a little while...Feel free to ask whatever questions you have, that'll keep my brain distracted, and I'll answer them ASAP.

Take care folks, and have a wonderful weekend!

Howdy!

I just wanted to take a moment to say "Howdy Y'all!" and briefly introduce myself.

I'm a 5th generation native Californian...and I currently live in San Jose, CA. I am a stay-at-home mom -- my son Aidan will be 5 in October, and my daughter, Cordelia turned 2 in August. My husband, Tom, is a peace officer, he's spent the last 11 years with the California Highway Patrol.

I am a former student of our beloved Texas A&M - I was there in 1996; before transferring to TAMU Corpus Christi & Kingsville. My major was phyical education - with an emphasis in sports medicine/athletic training. I left school without my degree due to medical reasons...then got married and had kids! But, I plan to return to college this spring and should finish as a member of the class of 2010!

I spent 8 years working as an assistant athletic trainer at a local community college; as well as 4 high schools (both in Texas & California). I also spent 11 years working as a physical therapy aide at 2 local clinics; and as a geriatric exercise specialist at Los Gatos Hospital.

I will do my best to log in at least once a week and offer my perspective & insights on recent injuries and other matters of personal interest.

Thank you kindly & have a stellar week!
