A visit to the Hospital



On Tuesday I came home from work and I see Ryan sitting on the couch with a bag of ice and tears in his eyes. I said "What Happened?" Apparently like 20 min. prior he was at the skate park and fell on his skateboard. He said that after it happened he passed out, and he passed out once more on the way to his car. I took one look at his ankle and said lets go to the hospital! The pictures don't do his ankle justice it looked like an apple was stuck under his skin! Good news, the doctor said that he is so lucky that he didn't break any bones because he had never seen swelling so bad on a sprained foot. But the doctor said that he popped a bunch of ligaments in his ankle and he wanted to treat it like a break. So we left the hospital with a bandages, a splint, and crutches! He is not supposed to put any weight on it until all the swelling goes down because it swelled up so much he doesn't want Ryan to do anymore damage. All and all I guess it was a good experience to run around and get acquainted with a new hospital. We will keep you posted about his progress. As of right now he is still very swollen, and black and blue.
