*Picks up from Hurt and Recovery Pt 1*
Over the next few weeks Jordan had been doing small exercises with her arm, she felt her arm slowly regaining strength. One afternoon while Erin and Hank were at work, Justin was watching his sister she was in the kitchen getting a snack while her brother was at the table looking over her homework. Jordan was getting a cup of juice, as she was carrying the glass her arm was still shaking and weak the glass ended up falling out of her hand shattering on the floor.
"Dang it". Jordan said.
Justin heard the glass shatter and ran to the kitchen to see his young sister getting the broom and dustpan cleaning it. "Jo what happened".
"I was getting some juice and the glass fell out of my hand".
"You could have asked me to get it".
"I wanted to do it myself, I have to try and get my arm back to normal".
The elder man knew his sister wanted to be independent and understood where she was coming from. "I'll clean this up and get you something, you have work to do".
"Thanks Justin".
"Anytime kiddo".
While Justin was cleaning Jordan went back to her homework, the whole time she was trying to move her arm around. Her arm was still stiff a little but had gotten some strength back. Once she was finished her work the ten year old had an idea.
"Justin I'm gonna go clean my room". Jordan told her brother.
"Um ok I'll be down here if you need any help". Justin replies.
"Alright".
The ten year old ran up the stairs to her room. "Jo no running!" Justin called.
"Sorry".
When Jordan got to her room, she got to work the first thing she was gonna do is make the bed. She had took the pillows from her bed and set them in her chair, the ten year old fixed the the sheet on the bed. Jordan used her weak arm and pulled the sheet till it covered the corner of the bed, she then did it to the other parts till the sheet was on the bed perfectly. Next she moved onto her blanket she threw it over the bed and began fixing it using her weak arm, once the blanket was perfect the pillows were thrown on the bed and fixed. The ten year old smiled as she saw her bed made.
She then went downstairs for the vacuum cleaner, Justin was watching tv when he had heard a banging noise that came from the steps.
"Jo whatcha doin?" Justin asked his sister.
"Getting the vacuum so I can clean my floor". Jordan answered.
"Need some help?"
"I got it".
Justin knew his sister was strong and freeminded, she'd set her mind to anything and was determined to finish it. Hank arrived home to see his son watching tv and heard the vacumm up in his daughter's room.
"Is Jo cleaning her room?" Hank asked.
"Yeah, she's working on getting her arm strength back". Justin replied.
Hank went to go see his daughter, her door was shut so he knocked on it then opened it. "Jo? Can I come in sweetheart".
"Yeah I just finished".
He entered the room to see that it was a lot cleaner, the bed was neatly made. The floor was cleaned from all the dirt.
"You did all this with your arm?"
"Yeah I want it to get it back to normal so I thought I'd clean my room, figured it'd be good for my arm".
Hank smiled at his daughter's free spirited mind and fighting attitude, he knew his daughter wouldn't give up on anything after setting her mind to it.
Over the next few week Jordan finally had strength back in her arm and was back to normal.
