Kenny's Foot

* WARNING * GRAPHIC PHOTOS ATTACHED *
Last weekend (before our Disneyland trip), Kenny went paint balling and camping with a group of guys from our ward. A couple guys brought their quads and were riding around on the trails. They offered to let him ride, but he was hesitant knowing if anything happened to the quad, it would be difficult to repay them, but they insisted that it would be fine (famous last words!). Kenny is pretty comfortable riding quads, his family had several growing up, but it's different when it's not your own and feeling financially responsible if something went wrong. Well, the other guys had been riding around a lot and were already familiar with the trails so he was trying to follow behind, but not get so close as to get a face full of dirt. He noticed they took a turn he didn't expect and tried to turn at the last moment, going a little too fast, so he instinctively put his right foot down to stabilize himself and his foot turned over and got caught under the back wheel and dragged a few feet until he came to a stop. OUCH! So the whole top of his foot is scratched up and bleeding and all badly bruised. Of course, he goes back to camp limping, but doesn't tell anybody. He came home and told me what happened (as I am packing for our Disneyland trip the next day!), but refuses to see a doctor. I bought some gauze and bandages to try to clean and patch it up then I ran to Savers and bought some crutches to take with us, but he refuses to use them. He limped around Disneyland, leaning on the stroller. Now that we are home, he insists it is getting better! I'm just afraid of any permanent damage being done, and things not healing properly. Why won't guys go to the doctor?

This is five days later!
