Last Monday Nat came home from school crying because her leg was hurting. Well I thought because it was Monday after Spring Break she was just worn out. So we went to her Softball game.
Tuesday she had a track meet and came home crying and seemed to be even more upset. I figured she pulled something. So I told her I would make an appointment.
Wednesday she had to run at school and was in major pain. I then decided to make an appointment with the Orthopedic doctor and off we went.

So she limped in and this is how she explained it....I run and my leg hurts so bad. I keep on thru my race and it is numb then after my run it is so intense I can't stand it. I SIGH

Keep in mind Nat is my very very competitive child. After xrays and the doctor looking at her leg(lots of poking and screaming) he says she has a stress fracture and will need to be on crutches at least a month. Now I am thinking in my head "yea OK I don't see that happening at all". But as he finishes the sentence she bust out into tears. To her this is the end of the world. To me this means we are back to not running all over to different games. He had to explain to her if this completely "breaks" you are going to have surgery and have 2 rods placed in your leg. So we left with crutches and one very upset girl. She cried and cried and cried!!

Friday we had to go back because of swelling in her foot and pain. She is now in a temporary soft cast because he believes she also has it in her foot.

NOT FUN FOR HER AT ALL.

I will need to update with a new picture tomorrow.


Just in case you are wondering~ I would rather be watching Natalie's sports than watching her struggle to not run into everything. I really love the excitement and rushing around.
