"I'm having kind of a rough week"

May 26, 2008 20:35

Is what I said as I crutched my way into the staff room at 7:45am today.

Mr. Bananadancer continues very ornery, although he's more able to get about now.

Yesterday, I was having a rehearsal with my Drama group, was sitting on the edge of the stage and pushed off to return to the floor. Landed badly on my left ankle, and am now unable to walk. My mom picked me up after school (how little-girl is THAT?) as I'm not able to shift gears with only one foot, and we went and sat for a few hours in the emergency room of the hospital. Had x-rays. Doctor came by and said, "I'll check on your x-rays and be back in a few minutes."

An hour went by in which we didn't even see him pass by where we were sitting.

Then he came out and said, "I'm sorry, I got sidetracked. Your ankle isn't broken. Elevate it, put ice on it, and stay off it for the next day at least."

SIDETRACKED?

Clearly I didn't captivate his interest enough for him to remember to COME BACK.

Ugh.

So, am having to take the day off work AGAIN tomorrow, which means more sub planning.

And yet, I'm the one with the cheery disposition in our house these days. ;-)

Sorry for breaking our date, starfish. We will at some point be online at the same time for longer than five minutes.

surgery, life, crutches
