Chatterbox: Down to Earth

I hurt my

I hurt my ankle over a month and a half and ago while I was at camp, and it still hurts, is bruised, and it's swollen. I can't help it. I'm the kind of person that has a pain tolerance at level a million. Unfortuantly, though, my ankle hurts to the point where sitting down makes me want to cut off the dang thing. 

I'm worried something might be broken or something.

I'll write more later (possibly). I need more ice.

back to the Down to Earth

Poor you! I get hurt a lot and I know how much some things can hurt. Have you showed it to a parent yet?

Yeah. Except I'm one of the stupid people that doesn't let pain stop them. I did a five-hour hike while my ankle felt like this.

 

I think you should go to a doctor and get a medical opinion, then follow doctor's orders. Some sprains can be worse than breaks.

Yesterday I dropped a big wooden platformy thingy on my toe. Now my toe is blue and purple. I get how you feel. Also, if you can, try to convince your parent to not get you crutches. They are a serious pain. Worse than the injury itself if you ask me. But you might like them! Somehow.... Good Luck! And if you do ever get crutches, prepare to be overly spoiled! Adios!

Last year I kicked a bed and got crutches for a few days, and my teacher wouldn't let me do anything! It was horrible! I hate hurting toes. I've broken two toes, sprained my ankle various times, broken my wrist, like six of my fingers, sprained my other ankle, broken two bones in my foot, and various other injuries in the past 8 years.

I know right! Hurt people are so spoiled. One time, when I had crutches, someone from another class left their jacket in my classroom. It was on my desk, so I walked to the other class to return it. The teacher of the other class was all like "Why would you bring this over? YOU CAN't WALK!" and then when I came back to my class my teacher made a huge deal too. It's so annoying.

Definitly! When I hurt my foot, I had crutches and was carrying my own backpack and some books and I got yelled at.

Oh, I'm so sorry S.E.! Maybe you should go to the doctor and get it checked? I hope you feel better soon!

Ouch! That sounds painful. I agree with the Admin, you should go to a doctor.
