Aly went with her YSA ward to the lake for a fun-filled day of wakeboarding and tubing. They got to Canyon Lake around 5:00 a.m. and enjoyed the beautiful water and very few boats. Aly is one who is in the water, catching major air on the tubes and disks and, of course, keeping up with all the guys in strength and stamina. During one ride on the Beecroft boat, they (2 guys and Aly) hit - and flipped. Because she was so determined to hang on, her hand got caught in handle. As she got flipped backwards off the tube, her hand twisted and smashed her fingers. Brother Beecroft is very familiar with how Aly acts, was shocked when she could not get in the boat by herself. Not one to complain, she asked for help into the boat..... 1st red flag.....and opted not to get into the lake again....2nd red flag. She was given ice and didn't make much of a fuss. But her hand was cramping and she couldn't straighten her fingers....3rd red flag. That was about 10:00 a.m. Since she didn't say anything, no one brought her home early. She ate lunch, helped dock the boats, tied everything down and came home....around 3:00.
She texts me: "You home?"
Me: "Yep, why?"
Aly: "Just makin sure. I'll be home in five. I need to go to the emergency room."
Me: "WHAT?? Why?"
Aly: "Broke my hand"
(By the way, all of this was texted while she was driving home: one-handed)
Oh....ok....no problem.
We head out to our favorite hospital and sure enough.... a complete break!
UPDATE: Aly got her first cast! Surgeon wanted it stabilized. Nice way to end the summer...but don't worry...Aly is STILL playing on TWO soccer teams!
