This past Friday, Ashlee broke her ankle at gymnastics. She was doing a backhandspring, backtuck on the beam and landed a little twisted. Her ankle immediately swelled up about the size of half of a tennis ball! On Saturday she had it x-rayed and splinted. Tomorrow, she has an appointment with an Orthopedist to have it casted. She will be off her ankle for about 6 weeks and then in physical therapy for a while. She is in pain, but has a positive attitude.
Ashlee unwrapped her ankle to put lotion on today and look at all the bruising she has from the break. (It's been four days)
A neighbor brought Ashlee over this scooter to borrow. It makes it easier to get around than crutches. She uses the scooter at school and at home on the main level, but she uses the crutches on the stairs and downstairs.
Ashlee, giving her friend, Erika a ride!

Oweeeee! Looks like a cool way to get around though!
Where were those scooters when I broke my ankle (at 19)? And dissolving pins? How cool. Mine are still in there. Sorry about the injury--I hope it heals beautifully!
