How do you put back together a Chinaman you've run over?
« on: November 12, 2012, 12:41:12 am »
Cos I am sure I did.

My eldest son had a big tumble off his brand new BMX on Saturday, knocked himself out for 2+ minutes, then at the insistence of his mates, got up and road for 4 km, then walked 1km. When we went to pick him up, it was obvious he was in a lot of pain, showed me his ankle, I got DH to drop us both up to the local hospital where he was immobilised on the bed with towels holding his neck stable. A Xray was taken and it was found that he has broken his tibea with a piece of floating bone off the inner ankle.

Due to a bump on it yesterday, we took him to the next bigger hospital where his neck is still tender and he is now in a hard collar until a MRI today clears (or not) his neck today, with a new back slab on his ankle, with a wait and see approach on his ankle waiting for the bone piece to relocate where it should be, or he will need surgery next week to screw that back into place.  :'( :'( :'(

The poor fellow!! . . . with friends like that . . as the saying goes!!  Hope they get a good talking to so there won't be a repeat performance next time one of their friends has a mishap!!  Hope your son is ok, Fruity, and that surgery wont be necessary - sending lots of the very best of good wishes to you both!!!

Boys, what can you say.

Buy him a new one fruity. If he hit his head hard enough to lose conciseness with a helmet on then that one is toast.  

I hope his leg fixes itself without surgery.

Fruity I was going to say the same as Den - with boys you can't expect to much more unfortunately! Definitely make sure you buy a new helmet.

All the best, hope the MRI is all clear and the bone floats back to where it came.

Well it certainly does look like you have run over a chinaman Fruity!  Head and neck injuries are terrifing - bones will heal with time.  I hope MRI gives you some good news.  Thinking of you and your son.
