Default Re: My little Princess

Oh, it never ends. I believe that I will take the pain and worry of parenthood to my grave. My 23-year old son has a nice titanium ankle from when he was in college.

Super Bowl Sunday - Skycougar is enjoying some bean dip, the phone rings.

Oldest Male Offspring: "Mom, I'm in the emergency room, there's been a little accident."
Skycougar feels her heart drop to the floor, and anxiety has filled her head so quickly that it blows like steam out of her ears .
Son: The guys and I were all drinking beer and watching the game and then decided at halftime to go outside and play a little football. Fat Albert got drunk and fell on my ankle and pulverized it - they're taking me to surgery.

Skycougar just about faints.

Youngest Male Offspring is up at Tahoe skiing : Mom, I'm in the emergency room. I did this jump and made an awesome landing but then hit some frozen snow and down I went. My landing was awesome though, but my leg hurt like hell. I skiied the rest of the way down the mountain. When I got to the bottom, I asked the ski patrol to look at my leg. They took off my boot and the bone was sticking out. I broke my leg, but the cool thing is I skiied down the rest of the mountain and my ski boot held the fracture together!

Skycougar wants to hurl and pass out.

Between football, baseball, snow boarding and skate boarding, several other fractured bones, ambulance rides, and sutures occur over the years.

Skycougar is on first name basis with local orthopedic surgeon and paid for at least one of his kid's college tuition. Skycougar finally gets her own turn last year when she shreds her knee and same orthopedic surgeon operates on her.
