The girls decided this summer that they wanted to buy longboards. After work on June 18th just after getting them Rhett and Laiklie decided to run down to the elementary school to try them out. It was Rhett's first longboarding experience, and lets just say....it didn't end well. He didn't crash, but he came off it HARD and put enough pressure on his heel that it acted like a hammer and pushed up into his ankle causing a break. He knew immediately it was bad so Laiklie backed the car up to where he was and he hobbled into it and drove with his left foot home. I decided it wasn't even worth messing with, so we went straight in for x-ray's. They found the break and sent us home in a boot on crutches until we could get into the specialist since it was on his growth plate. He was so sad. Cheer, hiking, work, everything he'd planned this summer changed in just an instant. He had to learn a lot of patience while he allowed it to heal.
Rhett has some of the very best friends that showed up with this cute poster! "Hey Dum Dum, next time don't be an Airhead & Rolo'ver a longboard & Crunch your ankle so you can get your next Payday. Butter luck next time, Nerd! Love your Life Savers. Dew us a favor and don't do this again! :)"
