Just a little something funny

I like to call Trevor little nicknames, or say things like "are you ready, Freddie" I mainly do it because I know what his reaction will be. He always says, "I not Freddie, I Trevor!", or whatever name I've called him. The new nickname for him is Bones, or anything having to do with being skinny. None of my kids have been built like him so instead of buying pants that are too long so the waist will fit, I have to buy pants that fall off of him just to get the length long enough. I can't tell you how many pairs of highwaters we own! Thank goodness for adjustable waist pants, you know a mom came up with that. So the other day after calling him Bones he told me all about his funny bone, I was surprised to know that he even knew he had a funny bone. We then took turns putting our ears to his elbow and listening to his funny bone "laugh", he insisted he could hear it, although I couldn't (good thing, I'm too young to be going senile) but I guess it must be laughing if it's called a funny bone, too cute.

Not Again!

We just got home from an appointment with Darrin's wrist doctor. He had surgery on it last February after breaking it and tearing the cartilage. It has been bothering him again since football started. We saw the doctor a few weeks ago and he assured us that he probably just strained it a little but it was ok for him to finish up the season and we'd take care of it when football was over. Well today Darrin was able to pinpoint exactly where it was hurting and after the doc examined it closer he determined that he had torn the cartilage in the same spot and he will need surgery again to fix it. Bummer! I guess the good news is that the doctor said he would fix up the ugly scar from the first surgery and give him a brand new one! That is good but he will also have a good 8 months for it to heal this time before football starts again. I feel so bad that he will have to go through the surgery again but he amazes me with his good attitude about it all. I don't think anything will ever keep him from playing the game that he loves.
