Mar. 11, 2007 ~ Wrist + speeding baseball = broken arm
This title sounds strangely familiar, doesn't it?
Long story short, I broke my arm yesterday. I was playing a scrimmage, the first one since coming back from my mouth injury, when the pitcher hit my wrist with a pitch. I wasn't sure how bad it was, so I just tried to shake it off, and jogged to first base. By the time I made it around the bases, I knew it was really hurt. I sat out for the rest of the game, holding ice on my wrist to keep the swelling down. Of course, the swelling didn't stay down. We went straight to the doctor after the game to get X-rays, and she told us it was broken. She put a splint on, and we're going to a specialist on Monday.
I really can't believe this is happening. My baseball season is gone now, since I'll be out for at least a month. I worked so hard for this season, it just doesn't make sense. We had gone to a special hitting coach for a lot of lessons, I was playing on two teams, we had a lot of hopes for this season. But it's not going to happen.
God must have a plan for this.... somehow....

That's terrible Christian :( Sometimes it's hard to see how God will work things together for good, but keep praying and waiting. Maybe he has something to show U during this time. Stay strong my friend!

Alright, that does it.
The next time you want to leave the house, we are going to wrap you in bubble wrap, then put you in a full suit of armor, and then pack you in a box with styrofoam peanuts.
And we're going to start making you drink a whole gallon of milk every day, to get more calcium in those bones!!!!

I came to visit from TC's blog! So sorry to hear about your recent broken bones; maybe your pitcher needs some more training - he sounds dangerous!!!
Hope you get well soon

If the toad hatches, I will drive him over personally! I hope that you are finding things to do with your poor self OTHER THAN BASEBALL! I'm sorry- once a mom, always a mom, I guess. I am still trying to picture the jaw wired shut you playing ball again and then breaking an arm. I am a girl- and a cautious one at that. I don't guess I get it but know that you will find good in it all. Soon. Great to read of you- referred by TC. Very encouraging to read about the loves of young people who are homeschooled- my girls are 5 and 7 and there are days when I wonder about this journey...hope you have a great day!

Man, I hope both your injuries heal. You'd better stay off that field --- unless, of course, you are well-protected with a helmet, wrist-guards, elbow pads, knee-pads, hockey mask, and a neck brace for good measure.

Are you sure your pitcher isn't trying to get rid of you?lol Maybe you need to strengthen your bones, they may not be strong. Go drink milk!

I've been keeping my husband up-to-date on your condition. His cousin once took a pop fly in the mouth that bounced off the ground and his two front teeth fell out and he was right there and saw that, but he said your injury is the most sever he's ever heard off.
I emailed him at work to tell him about your broken wrist. He's not sure baseball is the sport for you. ;)
Please take care and feel better soon!
Prayers!
