Administrators Horton Posted July 8 Administrators Share Posted July 8 So the news is out there that my little girl AKA Buford Danger broke her arm (radius and ulna) last weekend. This was not a water ski related injury. We're not exactly sure what happened but she was on a trampoline and my best guess is she put her hand down as the trampoline was rebounding up. She's having surgery Tuesday at Stanford to put a rod in both bones. So if I seem a little hard to get a hold of or maybe a a lot grumpy, please understand I'm a little stressed. if anybody wants to send her a a get-well-soon stuffed animal or such, message me here on the forum and I'll give you the address. She could use all the cheering up possible. 2 1 Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes ★ Baller Video Coaching System Become a Supporting Member or make a One-time Donation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Not_The_Pug Posted July 8 Baller Share Posted July 8 Get well soon Buford Danger! Have them put on a waterproof cast. Much nicer to just get it wet in the summer. Give it a week or so and she can be back on a trick ski. Easy to get up with one hand. At least she can be doing something on the water. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller rawly Posted July 8 Baller Share Posted July 8 Tell her that Riley says hi and hopes that she feels better soon. She must be heart broken about missing nationals on her home turf. Oh well , we might get them again 🤷♂️ She can always start up her tubing clinics 🤣 Those kids had fun together . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller jeblanc Posted July 9 Baller Share Posted July 9 @Horton Sorry to hear about the injury. She's about the same age as our oldest (who always enjoys the videos you make with her). She broke her wrist last year and had to miss the remainder of her basketball season. As a parent it's hard to watch their disappointment in missing the things they love. Best of luck to her on a speedy recovery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller bkreis Posted July 9 Baller Share Posted July 9 @Horton oddly a friend of mine had a 15 year old at a trampoline center and the same break occurred but lower leg, bith tip/fib..xrays almost same to yours ..just the leg.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller chrislandy Posted July 9 Baller Share Posted July 9 Not want you want ever, especially just as summer is kicking in. (it's the reason I won't have a trampoline at home and don't like the kids using others tbh, seen too many accidents) 4-6 months is not what I've seen others doing, it seems to heal quicker with the pins for stability, especially kids. The best in most aspects of life suffered an incident at some point early in their career which defined their style, so you never know it might be a blessing in disguise and she'll develop her own style and become a 8k toe tricker by the end of the summer... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller 6balls Posted July 9 Baller Share Posted July 9 Quite a bit of force for that break. Hang in there Danger, it seems like a very long time, but it will go faster than you think. I've got a bunch of hardware in my leg--lost that season so I feel for you. Hang in there @horton. It seems like a very long time, but it will go faster than you think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Horton Posted July 9 Author Administrators Share Posted July 9 in reply to comments above about "6 months off" i think the orthopedic is over managing our expectations. The bad news is that the rods in her arm need to come back out so that is another surgery and some additional recovery time.

Baller Southside_Mike Posted July 10 Baller Share Posted July 10 Had exactly the same injury when I was about 8 (fell off a climbing frame). Long time ago and no internal fixation in those days so spent weeks in old style plaster of paris. No long term issues at all and kids recover so well from this sort of injury. I'm sure she'll be fine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
