My broken thumb

On Sunday night after i finished my dinner I went out side by my self to jump on the trampoline. But I got on and instead of jumping i kneeled down and did some Russian kicks. When I did this I lost my balance and fell over on to my thumb, at that moment I heard avery loud “POP.” I ran inside and got an ice pack out of the freezer and then I started to cry.

My Mom asked me, “What’s wrong Angel?”

“Mommy my thumb hurts.”

Then we started to watch it carefully and then it  swelled up to the size of a peach. My Mom put me into the car and drove me to the hospital down the street . They gave me hidoquodone and It made me so tired. They took an x-ray and then I waited 2 hours before the doctor came and took my Mom aside so it wouldn’t scare me and said, “She did break it .So we are going to give her a temporary cast and we are  giving her a sling for her own comfort.” So they gave it to me and then they discharged me at 10:00 PM.

On Monday my mom took me out early so I could go to the doctor and we waited for 3 hours and then he sprayed me with this cold frozen stuff and then gave me a bee sting and then he straightened it and then he put my cast on. It is very hard and very purple. I have to wear it for 3 weeks, which means I have to wear it for my Ballet recital, and my trip , but the good news is that I get to have all my cousins, Aunts, Uncles, Parents, brother, Grandparents, and my best friend Naomi sign it.
