But I did my share of getting around and doing stuff. Nothing stopped me from going anywhere, doing anything. I just hobbled along!
Yea, my wife yelled at me many times, screamed at me to "be careful", and declared she WOULD NOT take me to the hospital if I did something, but .... that never happened!
So you know, let your son just do what he does best over the next few months. At best, just bring along a set of crutches!
