Another Fracture

So it turns out that Sam did fracture his shin bone a couple weeks ago and all that limping around wasn't just a deep bruise. He had been getting up at night with pain but at the same time was able to run fairly well in his basketball games. He hurt him self during the big snows of February. He now has a boot to wear for the next 4 weeks as the fracture heals. Needless to say, he is not happy about it but it's better than a cast.

The Doctor did say he could see the healing on the x-ray but he wants it immobilized as much as possible to avoid any further damage and to allow it to heal properly. I believe this is the third broken or fractured leg for Sam and the forth broken bone altogether for him. I'm losing track. I think Dylan is one behind with one leg and two arms.
