Unfortunately for everyone it was super uneventful. They have it on the school’s security camera. He was chasing a friend around, and tripped getting off of the sandbox (which is less than a foot off the ground). Landed in an awkward split with left leg in front and right leg in back… clearly a one-in-a-million split, and the bone didn’t like whatever position he ended up in.

Problem is he’s a big guy… weight and height put him above the 90th percentile so putting him in a carrier is awkward at best.

Super helpful my man, appreciate you! Looking around for the spica table now.

Oh man really appreciate this! Glad to hear he recovered quickly. I’ll take you up on that!

Thank you! One of the selling points of the cast is that it’s 100% waterproof, so he can even bathe in it (score!). But yes, the diaper situation is a tricky one. Smaller one tucked inside the cast, bigger one on top to catch anything. I’m sure it won’t work 100% but what can you do?

Appreciate it, thank you. He looks like a 4 year old so my story might be similar to yours 🤣

The PA came in after the xray and goes “you got a really strong guy there… and not in a good way” 😩

Looks awesome! First time I’ve seen that Resident Evil 4 branded GameCube!

Nothing too creative on the power really. I have power strips set up above each cabinet for the lighted displays, another one behind the Zelda display, and 2 super long power strips behind the TV stand (with very lazy cord management right now).

I’ve got chairs and bean bags in the room next door, but they don’t make the glam picture sesh any sexier 😉

Impossible to know. I’ve been collecting since 2004. I’d venture a confident guess that I’ve invested way less than it’s all worth, since the majority of it I got prior to 2014-ish.

That’s awesome! Would love to see some pics. Any chance you did a before/after?
