I finally decided that my wrist was hurting bad enough to go to a sports hospital. They took X-rays of my wrist and felt around.  It turns out I have a stress fracture in the growth plate of my wrist, and now I cannot do hardly any gymnastics for at least  a month.  That was a week ago, and so far all I have done at the gym was trampolene and strength training.  It's going to be fun doing just trampolene and strength training for a whole month.  NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Other than that I'm doing well, and hope to hear from someone soon.                                                   Justin http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/monkeyj/318084/ Sun, 22 Apr 2007 14:33:01 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/monkeyj/318084/ Hi!      I just got back from my grandparents and I had a great time.  I went to two rodeos at two different 4-H fairs.  I also got to see my Aunt and Uncle shoot at balloons while on their horses.  I also got to ride horses.  I love riding horses so much but since I live in the city I can't have one.  I also got to ride on my grandparents boats also.  Thats all for now.
