Busted

Anna did something to her wrist and it hurt her a bit. 

Then she was fine. 

Then she said it hurt a bit. 

Then she was fine.

Then she fell on her bike and it hurt a bit.

Then she went to gymnastics and did it all with a smile on her face and a bounce in her step.

Then we were eating dinner and she said it hurt a bit.

Then I told her to get in the car and we went to Arbor Creek Urgent Care for an x-ray.

Then they moved it all around and she smiled from ear to ear and said "Nope! Doesn't hurt!"

Then I felt like a total dope and watched my copay float away into Wasted Money Land. 

Then they took a look at the x-ray and pointed out a buckle fracture. 

Then I felt super bad and super guilty for waiting 6 days to take her in. 

Then I felt VINDICATED!!! Money not wasted after all! HA HA!

Then they put on a temporary cast and we went home with her cute little sling and she got buckets of attention. Buckets and buckets.

Then we went in to the orthopedic surgeon the next day and he took a look at the x-ray and determined that she did have a fracture, but it would heal nicely on its own and there would be no benefit to a cast.

Then I watched 2 copays float off to Wasted Money Land.

Then she got her temporary cast removed and they let her keep her sling and she was so happy because attention is great and all, but stiff, itchy casts aren't a long-term solution to getting it.

Then I went home and laid down on the couch and had a little nap.
