My buddy Alex has always lived a pretty charmed life. He's had many, many, many, many (did I say many?) close calls in his life. And yet, he'd never had a broken bone in his life or had to get stitches.
Did you notice how I said HE'D and not HE'S??
Well the charmed life he was leading hit a big speed bump a couple weeks ago while we were visiting my parents.
My dad uses four-wheelers (or ATVs to city folk...) that he uses on the ranch. (It's much easier to catch than a horse, right??)
So Alex and his cousin Josh were driving them around and decided to race. The race came to a sudden end when Alex crashed into Uncle Jim's Razor (pretty much a dune buggy). On a side note, it took me forever to remember the thing was a Razor and not a Rascal. Although frankly I like Rascal better. I chuckle thinking of my brother driving around on a scooter designed for elderly people.
So a trip to the ER at the hospital where I was born was required. It's a teeny hospital where back in the day my doctor was able to get me a full blown cast. However, times change and Alex just got a splint and we had to take him to get a cast once we were back here in town.
And because he's so cute, here are his photos.
The good news in the whole situation?? WATERPROOF CAST
