The eyes have it. You can tell by the brows that Ian is fractured! He's not been all there for quite some time, but this time he's really lost it.It was about time! Ian was due for another sports related injury. His last break was when he took a two inch slip off of a sidewalk and broke his foot. This one was a little more serious-- he took a kick while sparring with a 2nd Dan at TKD. When you are a 3rd dan, you should be good at blocking those, and he did... unfortunately with his right hand.
"Multiple fractures of the fifth metacarpal, pins and plates probably" was the urgent care diagnosis at ten o'clock last night.
But he's on lots of drugs... or just looks like it in this picture.
When I called Tulsa Bone and Joint the nurse said, "TaeKwanDo is a dangerous sport. I just had another mother call with her son's broken foot."
I asked her, "Tell me it wasn't Ben G," She replied, "Yes. Yes, It was Ben G."
And we both laughed.
There is some satisfaction in knowing that the giver and receiver merit equal consequences.

Just an FYI for all the moms on the planet who notice that their child only gets sick after hours and over the weekend, well, it continues when they are in their teens. Hand surgeons are off Fridays and the weekend, so Monday at 8:00 a.m. it is.
We'll let you know how the story progresses.
