One very very cold wet slick day as we were running around the gym as we couldn't go to recess I was accidentally knocked backwards when Jake and I ran into one another and both went flying. When the gang got to us Sam said are you two ok Jake said he thought he . have done something to his wrist as he had smacked it on the floor. I was crying cause my elbow was hurting lots I had slammed it on the the hard gym floor when I fell.
Susie ran to get our teachers. And told them we were hurt so they could take Jake and I to the nurses office. The teacher had her and Sam walk us down when we got down to the office there were lots of people waiting for the nurse. We waited for a while for the nurse when it was our turn she asked what had happened Jake explained we had gone crash into one another Jake told her his wrist was hurting and that my elbow was really hurting as I was still crying.
She looked at Jake's wrist first and decided to call his mommy as she thought he may have badly sprained his wrist she got him in a special bandage called a sling to keep his arm up. She then looked at my elbow and called my mommy to pick me up as she suspected I may of sprained it so I also got a sling. She also gave us each an ice pack.
When my mommy arrived she told the nurse she was taking both Jake and I his mommy would meet us at the hopsicle. When we arrived at the the hopsicle Jake's mommy was waiting for him. We were taken to a room where Susie's mommy took a look at First Jake then me she decided we needed x rays we were taken to a special room where a doctor took some special pictures of my elbow and Jake's wrist we then went back to the other room to wait for the x ray results.
A little bit later Susie's Mommy came in and told us that Jake's wrist was broken across both bones but it would heal on its own in about 6 weeks. She then told my mommy I had a pretty bad break in my elbow which needed pins which meant a minor operation. When mommy explained this I was very scared she explained I would be asleep when they fixed it and she would be waiting when I was done.
A few hours later a nice doctor and nurse came to my room and explained what would happen during surgery and asked what color cast I wanted I decided on light purple with darker purple stars another lady called a child life specialist came in to help make things a little less scary for me she and I looked at a princess book while the nurse put in an Iv needle which only hurt a tiny bit.
A short while later they took me down for surgery a nice man asked me to count back from ten. The next thing I knew was I was waking up with a big cast on my arm that had 2 pins poking out a nurse asked if I was doing ok I telled her I wanted my mommy she told me mommy would come back in a little while I fell back asleep and when I woke up my mommy was there holding baby teddy and my blankie.
We were taken to a room where I would spend the night along with mommy when we got to the room very nice male nurse helped me into bed and covered me with a blanket . He then asked us what we wanted for supper I asked for a grilled cheese sandwich fries and for some ranch to dip them in along with a chocolate shake mommy asked for the same thing minus the ranch.
After supper the nurse came in and asked if I wanted some medicine for my arm I said yes please it is very owie right now after he gave me the medicine mommy helped me get comfy and turned out the light so I could go night night. When I got up a new nurse brought us pancakes and milk for breakfast.
We headed home a little while later when we got to the apartment my grandma was waiting with a couple of surprises for me they included 2 new movies a new pair of jammies and a Pluto stuffy with his leg in a cast. After she left my buddies came to visit First came Jake and Sam who brought over some coloring books. Jake's wrist was in a green cast I said I'm sorry I crashed into you he said that's ok everyone makes mistakes. Mommy and I gave Jake a movie and the same Pluto stuffy my grandma had given me .
A little bit later Zack and his auntie came over and brought some brownies for Jake and I. Tommy's mommy brought him and Dill over along with Chuckie and Kimi they brought movies for Jake and I Susie and her Great aunt t came over with Kate they brought some cookies and get well cards. Kai Kya Min Jun and JiYeon came over with Min Jun and JiYeon's cousin they brought get well cards and stuffed animals we all sat and watched the movies and ate some snacks.
About 6 weeks later Jake and I got our casts off I needed several weeks of therapy to get my arm strong again but after a month it was doing lots better so I didn't need therapy any longer I ended up with two small scars on my elbow from having pins but that didn't really matter to me.
