Fun Afternoon..................NOT

Went out to play with friends

Decided to have a go on my friends skateboard

Fell off

Hurt left elbow and wrist

Couldn't move it much - fingers were numb

Mum said it was bruised and a little more swollen than other elbow

Asked our Practice Nurse to check it

Got sent to A & E

Dr. checked it, had X-ray and said it's badly bruised.

So in pain but at least we were only at the hospital for just over an hour (and the Dr. was cute!).


Tomorrow I go to Sheffield Children's Hospital for my pre-op checks, next Tuesday I see the Podiatrist and next Wednesday I have to see the Physio and Occupational Therapist ..............


So much for having fun during the holidays!

 

Make sure you wear a helmet next time luv.....

and land on your head.</p>

Alternatively don't ride skateboards because they're for crazy people or Americans....</p>

I rest my case</p>

 

I'm not sure there'll be a next time.

I'd never tried a skateboard before and never had enough strength to ride a bike but all my friends have one or the other. They were all playing so I asked to try.

At least I know not to ask for another go!

 

I haven't the strength to ride a bike either.....

but you wouldn't get me on a skateboard!!</p>

At least you know that skateboards can bite now Laura.</p>

Lesson learned and all that.</p>

Skiing is similar!!</p>

 

Sounds like you are

really looking forward to next Monday! ff

You are right I have found out that skateboards aren't fun.
