Frank* revisited

I thought I'd add a rather belated update on the 'Frank' situation!
Well, one day the bruising and swelling had gone down sufficiently to reveal that 'Frank' (TeenSon's finger) was not quite the same shape as it had been before he bashed it in playing rugby. So the trip to have it X-rayed was undertaken and it turned out that the finger (I can't keep calling it Frank can I!) was indeed broken. TeenSon tried to avoid asking the very enthusiastic-towards-rugby Fracture Clinic doctor when he could play again because he didn't want to hear the answer that he knew was coming - another 4 weeks!
The doctor - despite delivering this considerable blow - did redeem himself slightly by entertaining us with a 'soppy footballers' account of a footballer who'd been brought in, in an ambulance, with a sprained ankle! I have to say that I am more of a football girl than a rugby one, but the doctor was a rugby man through and through and he was rather amusing after a two and a half hour wait!
