I stayed home from school today. Second time this year. The last time was like...two or three weeks ago...I had sprained my ankle in gym class....it happened again yesterday except instead of Gymnastics (Which is what caused me to sprain it last time), it was sitting back down on the ground after review one of the Square dances we had been starting to learn in school. At first I just thought I didn't seriously hurt it because the pain went away quickly and only hurt a little when I walked, so immediately after I hurt it the girl were dismissed and able to go to the Girls' Locker room. I changed as fast as I could and went to my last class of the day, which was F period AKA Spanish.

INTERMISSION LOG COMPLETE!!!
So I get to Spanish class and, Jackie, the girl who sits in front of me notices that I look...well off. She asks me what's wrong, and I tell her. She told me to go to the nurse and at this point, my ankle really started hurting to the point where I wanted to cry. I nodded and went to the front of the class (Class hadn't started yet) and told Mrs. Ornelas that I had hurt it...again...last time I hurt my ankle was exactly 3 or 4 cycles ago and I had Spanish immediately following. As I was telling her what happened I actually started crying because of the pain. She told me to sit down and told a kid in my class, Kevin, to go get the nurse. He came back and told my teacher they're bringing a wheelchair. 
I keep crying in my seat, but then Mrs. Ornelas handed me back a quiz that she changed into a test and I got a 98. I REALLY got 100, but in the multiple choice section I put one letter instead of the one I really meant to put, so it cheered me up a little. The a few minuets later the nurse wheeled me out of the class.
They had me stay in their office for about an hour, then they called a cab to take me to my Megan's house (Not the one you met in the city guys!), since no one was home for me. So I get there and I hang out there for a while. At this point I can walk and walk around her room and stuff like that. I play 20 questions and I won. I was thinking of colored pencils and it thought I was thinking of a pen, then it tried again and it thought I was thinking of candy. In reality it's 25 questions, but yeah. Then my mother comes to pick me and I leave. Then she calls a cab to take me to the local hospital because my ankle might be fractured. When we get to the pediatric emergency center it's 5:30 PM. While I'm waiting there I saw all these little kids, some were infants. It made me so uncomfortable, I wanted out, but I couldn't go. My mom then tells me I need to get a urine test.....for a possibly fractured ankle? 
My aunt got to the hospital at around 6:30 and soon afterwards they called my name so me and my mom go to the doctor there and he says that we need X-rays and my mom says okay. It's another hour before we get into the WAITING area for X-rays and there are a LOT of people waiting. Shortly after we got there a mother, father, and their daughter come into the room. She had broken her arm. When my mom asked how long they had been there she mother looks pissed of and says she's been there since 2 PM and it's a quarter to 8. She said that the hospital needed to give her another X-ray for reasons only God knows.
My mom gets tired of waiting and after seeing me walk around she's sure nothing's wrong except it's sprained. We try to leave and the hospital starts to threaten my mom with Child Welfare...wtf? It's my mother's right to refuse treatment. She called her lawyer and she told us should just leave. At a quarter to 10 the X-rays STILL hadn't been taken. I started crying because I wanted to go home. At 10:30 they FINALLY took me for the X-rays. It only took 20 min. in total. So afterwards we took a cab home, as soon as I got home I went to bed after crying again for a little while because of all the little kids in pain over there. I learned one thing for certain. I NEVER want to go to a hospital ever again.
