Just wanted everyone to know that my son is doing much better. Has a hard cast on now and hasn't taken or needed anything for pain for almost 2 weeks now. Yeah! I was kind of worried about him since not only was his hand painful but the psychological pain of not being able to play is pretty bad too. I wrote on another thread about a boy from our old hometown that is older than my son that was just found to be "addicted" to oxycontin. He was started on them after shoulder surgery. He had been playing college baseball. He can no longer play at all and this set him into a tailspin. These kids live for their sport and when it's over....I just hope and know that my son will rise above it and be successful at whatever he does. I am proud of him.
