The match begins, Jordan is doing great. Not much happens in the first period, Jordan would later say he was working on tiring his opponent out. Second period, Jordan wins the coin toss and chooses bottom, which I'm assuming is so he can escape or get a reversal and post some points on the board. Within about 45 seconds of the second period Jordan is on his way to escaping, and his opponent has his leg... and next thing you know the guy went one way and Jordan tried to go the other way and all you can hear are three very loud screams.
Boom... the poor kid broke his ankle. We went down to the mat to see what was going on, and they had called an ambulance to take him to the hospital. What a bummer. We then all went to the ER at the hospital in Springfield, and what a sight... The ER, Jordan's ankle, the whole shebang.
I've been told the pics below are pretty graphic and not for the squemish. They don't really bother me, but if seeing bone potruding bothers you (there's no broken skin) I would stop here...
The good news for Jordan was at least once he got in the ambulance and to the hospital they managed to give him enough pain killers so he was comfortable, because as you can imagine, I don't think it's very pleasant to have one of your bones sticking out where it's not supposed to be...
All in all, things went as well as they could. Jordan ended up having surgery to repair his ankle, and was able to have the surgery and make it back to school without missing too many classes, right Jord? And luckily at the hospital we were all able to find a separate waiting area that we could all wait in and the kids could play without being in the middle of everything.
One thing I will say is Jordan sure knows how to make things interesting!
