The Unfriendly Cactus
Clark had a campout with his troop almost two weeks ago in the Superstition Mountains. They had a friendly night time game of "capture the flag", and Clark tackled a Barrel Cactus instead. He had literally hundreds of cactus needles that had to be pulled out...a bloody mess. Well, we thought all was taken care of, but a week later clark came home from school and said he was having terrible pain in his shin. I checked out his leg, and felt a cactus needle almost an inch long embedded deep inside his leg. Fun times. He had to have minor surgery to remove it!

Holy cow! That's disgusting. Poor Clark. Sorry I didn't know, I could have brought dinner. I'm not surprised he was a trooper; he's a tough kid!
ReplyDeleteOUCH! Way to go Clark for being so brave!
ReplyDeleteThat is terrible! That looks so bad. He is such a tough one! I am glad that they are all out now.
