To be getting really cross with H?

[HelpMeGetOutOfHere]

Ds broke his arm yesterday. He's got a trip at the end of the month to play sport which he now can't play.

Anyway told today at fracture clinic that next week he can go back for a clip on cast?? So now H is saying that ds can try and play the sport in three weeks time!!! The consultant has told ds that he's out if action for 6 weeks, H us insuring that ds will be fine in 3 weeks and can just take his cast off!

Poor ds obviously wants to get better and not risk further injury but he desperately wants to play on this trip and to go back to his club and play ASAP.

I'm so cross with H he just won't listen to what the consultant has said.

Crapbag that about sums it up. He's being very apologetic now after a huge row. The only person I feel sorry for in all of this is poor ds.

Yes, he must be devastated about not being able to play. . I hope he still gets to go as that would be really awful if they said no. And it must be more confusing to have your DH giving him false hope. He could seriously damage his arm. I just can't understand how your DH doesn't get that. What with his first aid training and all.

HelpMe I'm sorry obviously to hear you and DP had a huge row, but I hope DP now realises that DS just won't be able to play.

When I was at school a similar thing happened but it was an ankle and basketball. The girl still went on the trip as an assistant coach,still got all the kit (very important status symbol in school) etc. I hope the school will do similar for your DS.

Thanks chottie he has apologised again and spoken to ds. Explained that he was disappointed for him.

Ds really wants to go. He knows he can't play but wants to cheer his team mates on and be part of the social side (bowling, visit to a league match in a stadium, sightseeing etc) so I really hope he can go. Fingers crossed for him.

I hope your DS can go too, there must be other boys who are part of the reserve team, so he wouldn't be the only one not actually playing in the match.

I'm glad that your DH apologised and explained to DS too.

Agree with AF further up thread. Six weeks to remove the plaster and start exercising. If the sport was swimming or tiddlywinks, OK at six weeks. Rugby, at least two calendar months. He will need some normal "daily activity" type movements before heavy contact.
Tell him to get a grip.

Yanbu. I'd be reluctant for him to play Rugby straight away after six weeks, definitely not three. It's not worth the risk.
