Ryan's Broken Arm


Ryan broke his arm awhile back. He tried to do a no handed cartwheel off the tramp. He landed it successfully a couple times, but then missed and landed with his weight on one hand. It broke clean through the bone, just above the wrist on his radius. (Yes, I did lecture him later on what came next - his neck! And don't you ever do that again! :) They actually splinted it, which was really nice, as eventually I was able to take it off so that he could shower, and then wrap it back up. The Dr. told Jerry that he could cut off the ends of the splint (by the fingers) in a week or so, so that he could use more of his fingers. It worked so nice. He now has his splint off, and is enjoying the use of his arm.
