The Time I Broke My Arm

By: Maria

Yay! “Today we are going to the park!” I thought. I got ready and put my shoes on. Then, we drove to the park. I got out of the car, and ran to the slides. Then, I wanted to go on the swings, and then the monkey bars so my dad picked me up. Then, I wanted to go on the high bar so my dad picked me up again. I was having such a great day! But, then I started to slip and fall and hit my arm on the black platform and I started to cry. My dad picked me up to the car.

    Then my dad drove us to the hospital. I got out of the car and I went into a room to get an X-ray. I was so scared. I didn’t want a broken arm in the middle of summer! I wouldn’t be able to go swimming or play at  the park or have any fun!
Then I saw the picture of my X-ray and it showed that my arm was broken. “ I was so scared”, I thought. Then, I went into another room, and I sat down.

The doctors wrapped a stretchy cloth around my arm. Then, the doctors let me choose a color for my cast. I chose blue. Then,the doctors put on a sling.

Then, we drove home, and while my dad was driving I was crying because I wouldn’t go swimming or go to the park! I thought that I was going to have the worst summer ever! Now I was sure I wasn’t going to have any fun this summer. Then, we got home. I was so sad. I wanted to have a great summer but instead I had the worst summer , I thought. But, luckily my dad told me I didn’t need the cast for the whole summer. It turned out that I did have a great summer!
