For The Love Of Pickles...

What did you do last night? I spent the majority of my late afternoon/evening in the ER at Wesley with Valleri.
About 4:00 we got to my mom's to pick up Emily after school, and Val went in to get some pickles (her favorite afternoon snack), and when she came out to the car, she slid, and fell, but kept sliding, and ended up almost under the car, which is what she did to her shin, she banged it on the under side of the van.
So, we took her home, iced it, elevated it, but she couldn't put any weight on it. It looked really gross, so I decided to take her in for an x-ray. We dropped Emi off, for basketball practice, then went in and waited.
And waited.
Got a room.
Waited.
Waited.
It took about 3 1/2 hours to be told that she bruised her tibia and there was really nothing that can be done, because the best thing for that is not to baby it, like crutches or anything, which is good, because she already did crutches this year, and it was a nightmare.
So, they slapped a bandaid on the cut, and away we went.
It looked way worse last night.
