Good news: Chad can get off the crutches. (Yes, that was a gigantic waste of $40 for one day of use.) X-rays show nothing is broken.Bad news: The doc thinks we may be dealing with an ACL injury. "No softball, no football, no basketball...but you can ride a bike..." The irony that Chad hates bike riding does not escape me.
I have no idea what level of severity we're talking about until MRI results come back and Chad goes to the orthopedic surgeon in 10 days. Until then, he'll likely be hobbling around.
My favorite line in the Wikipedia entry about ACLs: "Surgical options may be used...if the patient is unable to refrain from participating in high-risk activities ever again."
Unable to participate in high-risk activities? Ummm, yes, I'm pretty sure that describes Chad.

Oh my! I was afraid it might be that. Bob says to tell him he can coach kids again to get his thrills. Keep the crutches. Never know when you might need them again someday. Will keep praying.
