This morning on my way home from town I got a call from my neighbor that Hyrum had wiped out pretty badly on his dirt bike while taking a jump. Joseph had rode to their house for help while their friend stayed back with Hyrum who was feeling pretty sore and clutching his right wrist. A kind mamma who also lived in the neighborhood behind us stopped her truck and asked if he was ok and ended up driving him to our neighbors house as he was in no state to ride his dirt bike. I met them there and then we went right to the hospital for x-rays.
He was so brave the whole time even though I could tell the pain was a bit much. We weren't sure exactly what was broken, but he could hardly move his wrist up or down without it hurting pretty badly. While we were in the waiting room he asked me how many bones we have in our bodies. I replied "206" to which he smiled, "I have 207 because I snapped one in half."
After a ridiculously long wait, he got a splint and a hopeful surgery date for next Tuesday. Yes, five days from today, and also the day before we are supposed to leave for our trip to Nauvoo. He took it easy for the rest of the day and pain killers have become his new best friend until they can get him into Red Deer to fix his poor pinky bone.
Later in the afternoon Fin ended up getting a wasp bit under his eye and on his hand after disturbing a nest in the hayloft. The only good thing that happened today was that Camilla passed her Learners!
