Orthapedic Deja Vu

The Doodle is in a cast.........................again..............................a  table top fell on the top of his foot.  Not sure how long he has to wear the cast but it's definitely slowed him down a bit. We spent the better part of last Friday in doctors offices, radiology and then finished up with a 3 hour stint in the ER.  Tomorrow we have our follow up with an Orthapedic specialist. A couple of years ago he fractured his shin bone and was in a cast for 3 weeks.  You would need to see the Doodle in his true doodle-form to truly appreciate his activity level and to understand how this injury impacts this little guy with autism.  He's taking it like a trooper but I wonder if he really understands what is happening or why he is in this cast.
