Lord of Chaos Update

Well, Cal is now the proud owner of a blue cast. Mike got Cal in to see the specialist early and an MRI wasn't necessary (thank goodness). The good news is he's in even less pain now that the arm is totally immobilized. The bad news is he won't be doing any swimming while he's in Oklahoma for a month. That's a major bummer. Swimming in the Oklahoma heat is one of the best things about summer.

The cast is removed the day after he returns from Oklahoma and maybe he'll be able to partake of the swimming portion of the summer camp he's going to attend for a week in August. It won't be the same as Oklahoma though.

Today I spent my time packing for our trip and keeping The Lord of Chaos comfortable. He still hasn't gotten his appetite back but I'm hoping it returns since he's not on the every six hour ibuprofen/tylenol regimen. He even took a nap today and that's totally unlike him. I should enjoy this while I can. When he gets his regular energy back I'm sure I'll get a few more gray hairs watching him do his daredevil stunts while sporting a big, blue cast.
