Guest guest Posted December 19, 2002 Report Share Posted December 19, 2002 Kathy Jo, My daughter is 14 and last week she fell down the steps and tried to break her fall and fractured her wrist. She has a bright pink cast on her right arm. I think it's the age they are so clumsy. It's ashame for your daughter because of the karate, hope all goes well. mom to ELizabeth 14 w/cf, Cody 11 wocf, Zoey 4 wocf, Evan 3mnths w/cf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
