"Aftermath"

     I was escorted to our vehicle and we started our way to the hospital. I was able to stay still so my arm wouldn't hurt and my father drove slowly and carefully as to not disturb me. Our travel time was short and we arrived to the destination in a timely manner. We went inside and my mother made sure it was known that it was serious. As we were waiting for the nurse to arrive, my mother helped me fix my clothes and hair which had gotten messy from the fall. I had been able to put on my clothing back on over my bathing suit earlier while at Alyssa's home.
     The nurse soon came and took us back so she could get our information. I needed to have X-Rays, but when I had to extend my right arm straight at my side I had a lot of difficulty. After the X-ray, we went to another waiting room to stay until the doctor came. When he arrived the doctor examined my X-ray and it was in a position that I could see it clearly, a clean break in the collarbone. His prescribed me very strong pain medication and put me in a brace and sling. Once they had given me the injection of the pain medicine, we were free to leave. It was extremely painful to get back to our car. We then started the long trip home.
    When we finally arrived at our estate I went straight to relax and my long healing process thus began..
