It was a week ago today at about 6:30pm or so when I got a text from Zach’s daughter with a photo of her ankle in it, telling me she was going to the ER. I took one look at it and just knew it was broken.
He took one look at it and said, there is no way it’s broken. It has to be sprained. There’s too much swelling for it to be broken.
Turns out, with no happiness to Kelsey, that we were both right. She sprained one side and broke the other.
We got to have her and her little brother, Ty for the weekend. She’s in pretty good spirits, despite the fact that she is done with volleyball for the season and despite the fact that she can’t ride her horse either. She has a Viking’s purple cast with gold sprinkles in it, until Tuesday, when the orthopedic surgeon will look at new x-rays and decide if it is healing good enough to NOT need surgery.
While it might have been dreary and wet outside, inside it was sunny, happy place to be.
Sparkles in the cast?! When I broke my ankle years ago my only option was blue wrap. The stuff they are coming up with these days!
Oh no! Poor Kelsey! I sure hope it doesn't require surgery. It's obvious how much she LOVES to ride and I bet that breaks her heart. Even without surgery, how long we talking for recovery?
Sounds like a GREAT weekend! Can't wait to see pic's, and I was wondering about "round up". Hope you get to do it and hope it goes well!
I have weak ankles and this made me draw my knees up to my chest and repeated moan, "Ow ow ow ow OWWWW!"
Poor thing – I hope she doesn't need surgery.
