Sprained wrist

N.P. here
Yes its me, not my mom. I have recently sprained my wrist. It all happened on monday ( think of the picture making little waves going out from the middle, like on TV). I was waiting for gym class, when i fell. It was a really bad fall and most of my weigh is one my left hand. I have to say this, even though its obvious. Pain hurts. I'm moving my wrist a lot, but its not really helping. The teacher is coming in and it still hurts, I'm wondering if i should tell him and he would say i didn't have to train/play. I run a lap around the gym, while the others come in and start to fool around, but today every step i take hurt's. Finally my class is calmed down, so we can play something. We decide to platy doge ball. Everyone on everyone, thats bad for me, because i can out run and out dodge most kids, but i cant out throw, so they like going for me, because its a challenge, but its not that dangerous. One kid has the ball, they say its everyone on everyone, but its not. My class gets into groups, even they not supposed to. It's really obvious. They throw under-hander's to each other then one of them launches it at someone. Normally me. A ball just flew right by my head. That is way too close. I scatter and try to get away, but a kid passes it too close to me and a kid gets me out. I tried to block it with my left hand. That was a mistake. once again, pain hurts. I go tell the teacher and he lets me not play for the rest of the hour. 5 stars to the teacher. The next day. I woke up late and I'm staying home from school. My dad is taking care of me , while my mom is at a ladies retreat. The next day I'm going to school. My mom called and said that i need a X-ray at the doctors (Thursday). It just so happens, that on thursday i have to sleep over at Johnny and Lisa's house, because my dad is going to some meeting type things in Holland. Its turns out that on thursday they doctors have this odd thing that like 4 people went to, but 4 people are a lot there. We went and got the X-ray with in like 10 minutes. But we had to wait for 2 hours after that for the 4 people to go in. Then the doctor said that it was only a sprain and that i need a cast on the top of my hand. One week later i went back in to get it off.

Nathan, I am so sorry that you hurt your wrist. If I were there, we would read, play games, put puzzles together so that you could rest your arm. I know it hurts!
