Ouch!

My 9yo DD managed to injure her finger playing basketball at school yesterday afternoon. A trip to the ER revealed a small bone chip and a possible fracture in her left index finger. This will put her out of action for at least 2-3 weeks. Her last game of the Fall season is Sunday. She's very bummed.

Damn basketball...

She can't get that in a glove?

DD broke my pinky when I was playing BB with her, it's still crooked.

My brain already went there, but my common sense prevailed - lol. We're going to miss her bat (she hits 2nd) and speed behind the plate.

Clearly, basketball is a dangerous sport. Just say no!

I wish your DD a speedy recovery!

My 6’3” DD gave up basketball this season to focus on softball. The HS coach wasn't pleased, but it’s just too risky.

Quick healing DD starts basketball next week.

bone chip? x-ray? when I was a kid we called it a jammed finger and moved on. My fingers look like Joe Cocker's when he sings so maybe that wasn't a good medical strategy.

I feel your pain, JJ.

My DD has been brave and tough through this, so far, with only a few whimpers. I told her this morning that, after this experience with pain, the bar is now set higher. I don't want to see any more tears or melt-downs over a tiny scratch.

Teaching moments...
