He was playing kickball and was running to 2nd base. The guy was blocking the plate in hope to get Bob out, so he kind of slid and fell. He landed just right and knew immediately that something was wrong. (He was safe by the way).
He walked around a bit to see if the pain would die down, it didn't, and he figured it was probably broken at this point so he just got in the car and started driving to the ER closest to home!(he was about 30 minutes away)When he got there they were very impressed that he drove himself in.I ended up having to go pick him up,(they won't let you drive while on drugs) and many thanks to Kristin and Craig for bringing Bob's car home to us.
At the ER he got right in. We have a really nice ER right by the house that guarantees a 30 minute or less wait time.
After a shot of morphine and some x-rays it was determined it is broken.
Now we are just waiting for the swelling to go down and he will see the Orthopedic Surgeon on Monday and probably have a plate put in.
I will add x-ray photos when Bob is not so doped up he can tell me where he saved them.(They gave him a CD with his x-rays on it to take on Monday)
