Monday Sarah hurt her foot jumping on my brother's trampoline. The Nurse Practitioner assured us that she sprang her ankle and did not break it and after a couple of days she would be able to walk on it and all would be well. After 5 days of still not being able to pressure on it, walking past her would hurt her foot. I finally took her in to see my favorite Physicians Assistant Randy Crockett. He has a great eye for x-rays and finding problems. Yes, the leg is broken, right about the growth plate and if you don't know what your looking for you would miss it.
After getting her fit with a boot, I remembered that Sarah has been struggling with a sliver on her other foot for a couple of months, so I suggested he look at it (since I'm already paying the bill). So they x-rayed it not expecting to see anything (because wood chips don't show up on x-ray's), Well it showed up. It turned out to be a broken off thumb tack needle. Has been there since December.
She was a good sport about getting some shots to numb the area and let Randy take out the needle. Poor thing, she is in so much pain. She was a trooper though!
Not going to let her jump on my trampoline any more. Yeah like I can police that little girl. I am glad you finally found out. And double bonus on the sliver. And I saw her run the other day, wow.
ReplyDeleteNo blame placed on anyone other than Sarah herself. When she wants to do something, there isn't much one can do to stop her. As for little, she out weighs me by 5-10 lbs. She has complained about the sliver, but we could never get it out. It was rusted in place. Least to say she is on antibiotics!
