As if Xmas time wasn't busy enough already, we found ourselves up A&E once again this week with Joshua. Last Friday he was at a Laser Tag party with the Cubs and someone pushed him on to the stage area knocking his knee. He came home limping and couldn't put his heal on the ground. The next day he was due to go football training and because historically he is a bit of a hypochondriac, I told him to just man-up and go and that after 5 mins of running around he would forget all about it. However it was the complete opposite, he lasted about 5 mins before he was sidelined as he couldn't even kick a ball.
So Sunday was no better and subsequently he missed a football match. Then he went to school Mon/Tue and was still limping around. His teachers were advising him to tell his Mum/Dad that he should go to the doctors. Wednesday was then the icing on the cake when I took him to karate and realised he still couldn't put any weight on the bad leg! I kind of figured that despite being a hypochondriac, not even he can put it on for 5 days so I suggested to Tina that perhaps we should give in and take him to A&E.
They gave him and x-ray and the good news is that nothing is broken. However they do suspect possible ligament damage and he now has some heavy strapping around his knee and a pair of crutches to get around. On Monday he is off to see a knee specialist to find out how bad the damage is and potentially could still end up in a cast! Not good 2 weeks before Xmas.
