Okay. This is Aisling (Helen's daughter) and my mom can hardly ever get the story of my injury straight so for those of you who want to know this is the story. I was at an overnight summer camp in Soda Springs and it was day five out of eight days at camp and one morning it was breakfast. The dining hall was about 50 feet away from the restrooms which I was at when the injury occurred. So there was a white SUV driving by very slowly and inside it was the maintenance guy who was paying no attention to the road and was talking to the camp director. When I thought the SUV had gone by me I walked behind the back wheel. then the truck kind of swerved and ran over my foot and I started crying. The SUV kept driving and when I told the camp director she said "stop making jokes." I told her I was serious and went to the health center she called my mom and my mom wanted me to go to the nearest emergency room to get X-rayed and the camp director went up to me and called me a liar and since I had a headache the first day she said that she thought that this was an attempt to get out of camp, or as she said "I was looking for a way out." She said if the x-rays proved she was wrong then she would apologize to me". Anyhow, the xrays showed that I had broken bones in my foot, and the nurse called my Mom and she had to come get me the next day. The camp director still didn't apologize to me even though the xray proved I was right.
My mom and fuzzers were worried that the injury was so bad that it would mess up our trip to China. My regular doctor told fuzzers to take me to an orthpedist, who did a special xray called a CT scan so he could see better. He was worried that I might need surgery which would really have messed up our trip to China. Anyhow, I don't need surgery, just a big cast. Then I get to go back the day before our trip and get a lighter cast. There's a picture of my cast up above.
