This is how Cameron is starting the basketball season... Saturday at practice they had a scrimmage. During that scrimmage Cameron was headed down the court on a fast break and when he stopped to pass the ball his foot rolled. When he called after practice was over he told me we needed to get him from the lock room as he sprained his ankle and couldn't walk. We didn't think much of it.. in basketball this happens all the time. When he got home he showed us where it was hurting and it wasn't his ankle. We had some crutches on hand (we knew Marc's surgeries would come in handy), that is how Cameron was getting around. Finally, Monday with it not feeling any better we took him to the doctor for an xray. Even the doctor said it was unlikely his foot was broken. The xray spoke the truth....BROKEN :( We were immediately referred to an orthopedic doctor.
He came in the room stating he had good news and bad news. My heart about sank when he said he had bad news. After all, we knew his foot was broken... The bad news was just that, his foot was broken. The good news, if you are to break your foot or this bone, Cameron broke it in the right place. Just an 1/2 inch or so and he would have had to get a screw put in it requiring surgery. We thanked our Heavenly Father for the location of the break. Hey, if it has to be broken we would much rather have it broken where it is!
Basketball season started last night. Cameron spent the night sitting the bench, where he will be for the next 6 weeks at least. Cameron getting to play basketball again depends on the foot and how it feels. Now, let's pray for a speedy recovery. Cameron has already ditched the crutches. First step of recovery...CHECK!!!!
