I sprained my ankle yesterday. I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but I think it was when a bigger kid fell on me on the playground. That's why I came home from school all covered in dirt (Mommy said I looked like Pigpen). Mommy and Daddy's anniversary was on Wednesday and we were going out to eat last night to celebrate so I had to change into clean clothes. There was still time for me to go out and play before bedtime when we got home, so Daddy was helping me get back into my dirty clothes when he noticed that my ankle was really, really swollen. I got back into my clean clothes and we headed to the Emergency Room to find out if my ankle was just sprained of if it was broken.

It was a busy night in the Emergency Room, so we had to wait in the waiting room for a long time. That was hard for me to do, even with the tv on the Disney Channel. I was getting pretty tired, and that made me really fidgety. When I finally got put into a room, it didn't even have a bed. But that didn't matter. I curled up in the chair with the blanket and pillow we keep in the car and the stuffed kitten they gave me at the hospital and was asleep in about 10 minutes. A doctor finally came in to see me about an hour later and I slept right through him looking at my ankle. Mommy had to wake me up so they could take me to get x-rayed. I wasn't real happy about that. I kept wanting to roll over and go back to sleep when they layed me down on the x-ray table, but I had to stay on my back. After my x-rays, I came back and curled up in my chair again, but I didn't go back to sleep. The doctor came in a little while later and took Mommy to look at my x-rays. He said he thought everything looked ok, but that if the radiologist thought otherwise when he looked at it today, they'd call and let us know. He said that I should keep it wrapped in an ace wrap for a few days and try to stay off it as much as possible for the rest of the weekend. I have a bunch of doctors' appointments coming up, so he got us copies of my x-rays to take with us so my doctors can look at them. Once I was wrapped up, we were ready to go. That was at about midnight.

I slept in late today (and late for me is 9:30) and spent most of the day laying on the couch watching tv or movies. Daddy carried me around when we went out for pizza tonight. He and Mommy thought it was better that way because I jumped out of bed this morning and stomped into the bathroom as usual without even thinking about taking it easy on my ankle. I can't feel it, so I forget that it's hurt. I can't wait until I'm allowed to run around again, because this is the pits.
