... or you just might rupture the tendon in your finger. Caleb did this over the weekend. Yes, he severely ruptured the tendon in the middle finger of his left hand, taking off a sock. This, after a full day of skateboarding and baseball, activities where it would seem injury is lurking at every turn. He was removing his baseball sock at the end of the afternoon, and something went wrong. He ended up with the middle finger bent at the last knuckle at a 45 degree angle, and was unable to straighten it. End of story, the finger must remain in a splint for six weeks in order for the tendon to heal and hopefully avoid surgery. The middle school basketball season started today... baseball has several more Saturdays to go... and although skateboarding doesn't use the hands directly, it is fraught with opportunities to bump a healing ruptured tendon. Where does this leave a thirteen year old boy?
Being taught patience, I suppose. That's what I'm praying for, anyway.

I'm praying too! I'm going to look into the skate park near our house today, so that when the boys visit we'll be ready to go!
