Not so happy 4th of July... *UPDATE*

(((HUGS)))
I hope you feel better soon. That was really mean for your dad to say you ruined the fourth of July. We know you didn't.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. My dad I think just got mad, because I am always the one to get hurt. I have a twin sister, and she never gets hurt. In the past two years I have broken my ankle (walked on it for a year, with it chatterd, and THEN the stupid doctors figured it out ), had surgery on my ankle, broken my wrist and have had 3 surgeries on it, and now this.

I don't think I'll be going to the doctor today. My mom is pretty set in her place that it isn't broken, and is just sore. It is still pretty swollen, but I can still bend it a little bit. The thing is, when I broke my wrist (my hand was on the right side of my arm, and the growth plate was down by my elbo) I could still bend my wrist a little and move my fingers. I don't know what to do, argue with her, or just wait till tomorrow and see how it feels..?

Why don't you keep it iced and elevated in the mean time?

Doctor appt. at 3:30 central time. I'll update you all when I get home.

Good luck at the doctor's.
When you find out whether it is broken or not, ask the doctor if he recommends you doing the horse show or not.
I hope you feel better soon, in the meantime ice and elevation will help keep the swelling down.

You ought to be able to go to the horse show just fine, with a little help with banding and tacking up etc. I once had a mustang mare I was training who dumped me off and broke my pinky finger and we still went on an all day ride in the mountains, didn't get it fixed until later. So I'm sure you'd be fine to go to the show even if it is broken.
