We have an injured one here...

Last week we were planning on heading up north, but stopped by at temple square to snap some shots of the sunset. When we were done, Skyler jumped over a snow pile to get back on the sidewalk and slipped. He pretty much did the splits, but his right leg was twisted behind him. I saw the whole thing. I could tell it was no bueno. He was in pain and his first thought was that he completely tore something and would need surgery. This was his first thought because he has a friend that tore his ACL completely and it was a $50,000 surgery. But he didn't have insurance. Well it turns out that even though he was in pain, he was atleast able to somewhat use his leg. Good news. The next morning he went to see a doctor and was told on a scale of 1-3, 3 being a complete tear, he was a 1.5, so, bad, but not bad bad. He gave him a knee brace and sent him home. He may be doing a little physcial therapy in the near future. So aside from occasional cramps which are pretty painful for him and becoming a couch potato, he is doing quite well.
