Going to the Hospital

One day when I came home from school, I went to go skate board with my friends. "Hey what's up?" Jacob exclaimed. "Nothing much just done with my home work," I said. Then that's when I noticed what fine tricks they were doing. "Hey, can you teach me how to do a pop-shove-it?" I asked. "Sure thing," Jacob said. "The trick is you have to twist and flick your skateboard at the same time." "Oh, okay let me try," I said. Then I was off, I could feel the wind in my hair, then right when I was about to hit the move, BAM!!! I fell, twisted my ankle and got a scratch on my leg.

It felt like burning pain, like having needles in my foot. I was screaming in pain. When I realized I couldn't move it I thought it might be broken.

"Hey, I'll go get your mom" Jacob said. "No! I will be alright," I said. "But you can't walk." "Fine, I'll call my mom." "Do you need help?" "No, it's alright." So, I called my mom, when she answered she said, "What's wrong?" "I think I might have broken my ankle," I said. "Do you need me to come and get you?" "Yes and hurry FAST!!" When my mom got there she hurried to put me in the car.

When we got to the hospital we had to wait about a half an hour until they called my name. "Nicholas Vento" the Nurse finally said. When we went in to the examining room it was very kiddish and had toys and children books. "You don't have to play with these, they are for the little kids. The Doctor will be here in a bout 10 minutes" the Nurse said.

When the Doctor came in I was scared to hear if my ankle was broken or not. "Well, it is badly sprained and you won't be able to put weight on it for 2 weeks. I'll be giving you this bandage wrap to help it heal faster. If you have questions, complaints or it gets worse, give me a call and we'll get you back in for an x-ray" said Dr. Rinderknecht.
