No, I'm not appologizing for anything I've said.(as if) Sometime before this I mentioned a road trip, wherein one 58 year old "Captain Dave" dutifully skied his butt off with a cracked rib. Since this trip, I've heard at least twice a week from a certain teenager living under my roof "dad, my wrist really hurts", to which I'd respond with the proper medical terminology of "you need a straw to suck it up?". Interestingly enough, he goes to see the trainer at school before football practice the other day. Here's the text I got..."terry thinks its broken". Turns out Terry was right. My sweet, precious, innocent 17 year old snowboarded for a couple of days, went to a couple weeks worth of football practices, and lived for 4 weeks with a broken wrist. The nice part is he's got a really cool blue cast!
This is not unlike a few months ago when he kept hacking and coughing and generally feeling crappy. Doctor dad to the rescue. I prescribed plenty of allergy medication, vitamins and rest. 4 weeks later, he has bronchitis & pneumonia! So far, I'm batting 1000. Anybody out there not feeling real well? I'm willing to cut my fee in half to treat you.
I felt I owed him a public appology. So here goes. Ethan, I'm sorry your mother didn't take you to the doctor!
