I was reporting to my co-workers that Eric had broken his RIGHT hand at his football game on Saturday. He was tackling someone on defense when he landed on it. When they learned that Eric plays QB and D-line, one man asked, "What kind of a coach puts his QB on the defensive line?" I was laughing so hard, I almost couldn't answer. (Steve, Eric's coach, is this man's boss.)
His entire palm is black & blue and the top of his hand is swollen making his hand look "cartoon like" and puffy. Eric's break is very minor, and doesn't require surgery. He should be out of his cast in about 5 weeks. He can still play defense (with padding on his cast, so he can't use it as a weapon) but his pass throwing days are over.
When Lauren broke her hand we didn't even take her to the Dr. for 3 days. She didn't swell and was only a little bruised. After surgery to put in 9 screws, she was back to top form.
I guess that just proves girls are tougher than boys. ;)
