results from the x-ray

Upon being x-rayed and examined several times the doctors told me that Bethany has what is called an avulsion fracture on her iliac crest which in laymens terms means that she has a tiny hairline fracture on her pelvic bone from tendons and ligaments being overextended while running, they also said that some of the muscle has pulled away from the pelvic bone. Treatment requires 600mg of Motrin, which acts as an anti-inflammatory and helps the pain, every 6 hrs or as needed and lots of rest for the leg. The doctors excused her out of gym until March 2 if she has a doctors note saying that her person healed completely and she can return to full activity in gym. Bethany was not happy that she will not be doing the activities in gym and that surprised us because during Christmas break all she talked about was how bad she dreaded doing gym this semester but once the semester started it turned out that she is one of the top 5 fastest runners in the eighth grade at her school.

I don't know about anyone else but I am so over winter! Spring could arrive anytime and I wouldn't argue a bit. Since I am wanting Spring I am going to remove the Valentine template I now have and "Spring" up my place here so that I can have that wanted season now even if it is in Cyberville only.

Since it is Friday evening I am going to cut it short here, actually I can't quit sneezing so I need to sign off. I hope each and everyone of you have a wonderful weekend, be safe and stay warm...God Bless!

Y'all come back now, ya hear!

She won't be the fastest runner anywhere if she continues doing full gym with an injury. I'm glad she's getting the recovery she needs.
