Some Things Are Just Too Tempting . . .

Some things are just TOO tempting - like climbing trees, and standing on something with working wheels, to get up in the tree . . . which results in . . .

a really NICE sprain - nothing broken - but very painful just the same. True to form, James simply dealt with the pain, REFUSING to let us look at his hand, or touch it. I had to resort to checking out the injury while he was sleeping, to which he yelled out in his sleep, "DON'T TOUCH ME! I CAN NEVER TRUST YOU TO NOT TOUCH MY HAND!"

Eventually we were able to get him to the doctor, and have x-rays done. He was told to wear his sling, until the swelling went down, but I think he only wore it long enough for us to take this picture. He wasn't a very cooperative patient. AND. . . Did he learn anything? Perhaps.

Within days of the swelling going down, he was back up in the trees. This time, however, he didn't use wheels to give him his boost up.
