My son was stepped on playing basketball at school. Coach said he was alright and sent him to finish out the day. He rode the bus home, and walked up a steep hill. I took one look at him and called the dr. It wasn't broken, but it did swell tp 3-4 times normal size. He spent the next 2 week on crutches. His foot turned every shade of black and purple, yellow and green. It was an ugly, painfull sight. Hurt just to look at. The next day I gave the coach an ear full. Coach apoligized right and left, but there was no excuse for me not being called either by the coach or my son. Coach was surprised to see him come to class on crutches too. No school nurse, budget cuts turned the position into a part time job.
