Turner's fall

This was the calm after the storm photo. Turner woke at 6 am on Saturday, a little grumpy. Can't blame him. Mommy was tired, in need of coffee and just worn down too. His milk had been finished, his movie was over and evidently, he decided to climb onto the table and push play for a re-play (we are assuming...) to get his movie started when...crash, wail, piercing screams!!! He pulled the table, old HUGE tv on top of himself!!! By the time I got to him, he was face down pinned to the floor with all that weight on his left leg/ankle/foot. After consulting with my sister and a good friend who is an orthopedic PA, we decided to wait it out since it was not swollen and he started to bare weight on it.

By Sunday am, he was still limping and tearful without Motrin, so Turner and mommy headed to the urgent care for an xray.

Another "calm before the storm".....many tears, swats at the doctors, attempted to hobble away, we had xrays and saw the doctor.
Typical pose from our visit. Mad Turner trying to escape from the doctor's.
Bottom line: We are thankful to report that they think it was just a small fracture to the fibula. No cast, brace, just "light duty". Thankfully, he is cautious of it anyways and takes it easy while limping around. As long as he has the Motrin in, he appears to deny the pain. He is moving around more and more each hour, so hopefully, the worse is behind us. So, a full day of movies with monkey it is!!! : )
