Poor Bill-Bob...

So Delaney basically died about two weeks ago. She was playing dodgeball in gym and she had her body turn one way but her leg turned the other...She dislocated her knee and it was bad. I had her explain her experience to me: "I fell down and I was like aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!! This girl came and asked if I was ok and my teacher came over and pushed me over to the side of the gym and I was like ok ok. Then my teacher had everyone get dressed and go because they couldn't continue class with me there. So then she sent these girls to get a blanket and a glass of water for me and then the paramedics came and gave me an iv. Mom came and they strapped me up on the stretcher and they took me outside and it was freezing cold. We were driving in the ambulance and mom was following behind and then the we drew smiley faces in the window to mom and then they got me inside the hospital. I was at the ER and they set me down and it hurt horribly and the doctor came and said that something like this was normal for this person's age. Then he was ok we're gonna take an x-ray but the girls doing it didn't know how to do it and then they moved my knee and it hurt and then this doctor came and said they were going to put a shot in my knee to numb it but I already had the morphine so he he he....and then he stuck the shot in me knee and I was like 'eh it hurts'. And then he wrapped it so it wouldn't get infected then he snapped my leg straight again and it hurt for a second and then everything was good." I talked to her after I got outta classes and she was still a little doped up on the morphine. Funniest thing of my life! I've never heard her talk so much and she was being so funny! She's been on crutches ever since and after she stopped trying to race everyone on them she started to get around pretty well. She's still getting in trouble with my dad for sneaking around trying to walk but oh well. I know what it's like knowing you can walk but you shouldn't haha. The doctor says she'll be fine and I've been helping her with leg lifts to help strengthen her knee. It's definitely made life interesting haha
