Broken

Unreal...I swear this shows how clumsy I am.

Last week, we had a couple of field trips at my school. The second one was on Thursday and we were going to the US mint. Right as I was getting ready to get on the bus, I stepped wrong off the curb and twisted my right ankle, in trying to catch my balance I landed funny on my left ankle and twisted it really bad. I had my homeboy pick me up at school and he took me to a doctor near my house. Unfortunately, workman's comp stuff hadn't been worked out yet...the doctor then refused to see me on my insurance.

So off to another doctor and lie about where this accident happened. I got x-rayed and the doc said she wasn't sure it was broken, but my x-rays would be checked by radiologists and they would let me know. I get a call on Monday and the doc says it looks broken, but they want me back in 7-10 days for more x-rays. I call them on my way home and find out if I can get a boot or something to stabilize my foot better and they tell me to come on in and get more x-rays done then. This new doc tells me it was clearly broken and that I needed to see an ortho. I make an appointment and then I talk to the school district. They call the doc office to see if they take workman's comp and they don't so they call and cancel my appointment.

At this point I am freaking out, my foot is really starting to hurt and I can't get anyone to see me know. I call my district crying asking what to do. Finally someone from workman's comp calls me and I am able to get a name of someone I can see. They couldn't see me until yesterday and they finally put me in a boot which has been a lot more comfortable.

I am really looking forward to going back to work on Monday. I have missed my students so much and I miss teaching. After a day of being on my feet, my ankle does start hurting so I will just have to make a habit of putting it up some in my classroom.

Peace out my peeps...up next, the crazy activities of our 7 month old kittens...
