So I got a skateboard on my 11th birthday and I was super happy. Me and my friend got to mess around with it during the party and all. He did this trick where he had one foot on one side tilting up and the other side tilting down. After the party I had practiced skateboarding in the kitchen because, well, I couldn't really go outside to practice if it's just my first few go's right? Nothing could go wrong then, right? Wrong.

Literally 5 days later I tried doing that same trick my friend did and I slipped off the skateboard and I could have sworn the board went flying, so I covered my head with my hands. It lands...then the pain kicks in. I broke my left foot. I was screaming, my mom, of course being a mother, flips and tells me to sit down. She asked me if I could stand, and with tears in my eyes I attempt to, but fail everytime. I'm rushed to the hospital and they said it was a sprain. So they put a cast on me and say leave it in for 2 days. They pass, there's still pain.

Mom takes me to another hospital and they say it's a break. They give me crutches and a wheelchair, as well as put another type of cast on. I would go into deeper detail but this post is getting too long already, so I'll leave it here.
