Claudia had an interesting week. She started it off by hurting her hand playing basketball at school on Thursday. On Saturday, she had soccer practice, we thought, it was just skills, no contact. Turns out she gets run over by one of the girls and lands on the same arm. After a visit to the walk-in clinic and not being very confident of the prognosis, we headed to emerg at Credit Valley. Here is Claudia in the fracture room (more like a hallway) with her partial cast. The emerg doctor called it a Greenstick fracture. We left after 4 hours with an appointment for the following friday at the fracture clinic.

After being seen by the doctor at the fracture clinic, Claudia had a permanent cast put on, that she would wear for 4 weeks. Her choices were plaster (free paid by OHIP), synthetic ($30) or waterproof synthetic ($60). We went with the waterproof cast and she had her choice of colour. The fracture clinic doctor called it a buckle fracture.

It will be weird seeing her with the cast everyday.
