for November 6th, Tuesday, .....Election Day

Paddy on the way to a nice gain, and game, except on his last play he did some shoulder damage. His team won.

Email from Jeanni.
"On Friday Paddy's last game was in Richmond.  Frank went to the game. Joe and I were at Washington and Lee for Kelsey’s parent weekend.  After the game Frank and Paddy flew to Louisiana for the LSU vs Alabama game.  I spoke to Frank and he told me all about Paddy’s game except one detail.  Paddy got injured during the fourth quarter and had to come out.  He was knocked down and landed on his left shoulder.  He wasn't able to move it and it swelled up.  They decided they still wanted to fly to the LSU game.  They also decided not to tell me until they return home.  When Frank took pictures of Paddy at the game he made sure Paddy's shoulder wasn't visible.**    Last night Frank called to tell me their arrival time and that Paddy had a slight injury from Friday night.  Paddy got off the plane and his left shoulder is about 5 times bigger than his right.

We went to the Dr. and an x-ray showed he broke his shoulder through the growth plate.  It will take about 8 weeks to heal.  If he grows more his arm will be different lengths, but Kelsey suggested he just keep one arm bent and no one will notice.

Paddy doesn't seem to mind since that was last the game of football season. Tonight  is the first basketball practice,   He won't be there!
