All Better

My ankle was getting all better now... all day Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday I was in my bed laying down and resting my ankle. I believed that the more I rested it the better it would get and sooner. On Monday, I went to the Orthopedic surgeon and he told me to start walking on my ankle. When i was on my way home from that place, Julie called me and asked me if I wanted to go to the barn to help her with some paperwork, so I wouldn't have to walk on my ankle much. (She is so caring! lol)

She didn't tell me that Farmer Dan was coming to pick me up! When I got home from Rite Aid, about a minute later I was crutching up the stairs and back down to get my stuff for the sleepover that night. Then, Farmer Dan pulled into my driveway. I hobbled my way to the truck.. and hopped in! I got all nice and comfy in the truck.. and my mommy threw the crutches in the backseat. She told me to be careful on my ankle and to not do anything stupid.

When I got to the barn in was hard to get out of the truck.. Farmer Dan pulled right up to the barn doors so I wouldn't have to crutch through the snow. When I got out of the truck, I hopped on one leg and pulled my crutches out of the truck. Once I pulled got my crutches out of the truck.. I went to start crutches and I tripped over the snow and hit the doors.. and I almost hit poor Goosey, but I didn't. Nicole and Goosey wanted me to wait with them to finish waterbuckets.. but it was cold and I wanted to see Julie!

I crutched my way up the stairs, and finally got to Julie's door. I walked up and knocked on the door.. she told me to come on so I opened the door and somehow managed to make it in with out tripping over anything (there wasn't anything to trip over.. but knowing me I would trip over my own one foot). I told her what the doctor person said and that I wouldn't be able to ride until I can completely walk without a limp.

We ordered pizza, and we organized a bunch of stuff and we stuffed some more envelopes. Then, after a while I went to see Faith, who I missed so much, and I got into Margret's mom's car and we were off to the hotel with Goosey, Nicole, Margaret, her mom, her, brother, her sister, and me!

Life Sucks.

The "three hour tour" was given last night to me, Margar, and my mother. (The hospital) Well... it all started one day, I thought that the day was going pretty good. I asked my riding instructor if i could ride one of my favorite horses, Nicholas! While I was cantering him I lost my stirrup, and he started trotting. I was hanging on by the reins and one stirrup (the one I managed to get back). I was hanging on for at least two minutes. There were four of us in the indoor riding arena, when i fell.... i got stepped on by Nicholas. I don't blame him.. i still love him as much as I did before I fell. I got right up and I saw that two out of the three girls I was riding with were laughing. The other was seeing if I was okay and she wanted to help.

We entered the barn, and I quickly untacked Nicholas.. and pathetically limped up the stairs into my riding instructors house. She was on the phone with a student's mother when I got up there. After she got off the phone, she asked me if I had fallen off. I replied yes, and she asked me what happened. I told her everything that had happened. She gave me some "ice" (which was broccoli, and Cauliflower!) I sat on her couch for about an hour... and i kept the "ice" on it.

Margar walked upstairs and asked me if I wanted to get a ride home with her. I replied yes, and we walked down the stairs. Her dad drove up the drive-way and I hopped into the truck. (Which was not very easy) When I got home, my mom kept asking me what I had done. I once again told her the whole story. This story is getting annoying to have to repeat it over, and over again. She told me that I "had" to go to the hospital because I couldn't walk on it.

We got to the hospital, and we knew that it was going to take a while to see if my ankle was broken, or just sprained. Not even two minutes after we sat down i wanted to drink my soda. Of course me being me, I couldn't open it! I asked Margar to open it... Nothing. We just hoped that my mom to open it... And of course she did. Just one thing went hysterically wrong, it exploded, all over her!!! Magar and I were laughing so hard!

In about forty five minutes, I got to do the coolest thing ever!! I got to sit in a wheelchair! The coolest wheelchair out of all time!!! Finally i went in for x-rays, and got the diagnoses. It was sprained. I went into hysterics because I knew I wouldn't be able to ride, for what would be a very long time.
