Entry 26
Wow, today, what a day, probably the one of the scariest days of my life. Back to that soon.
First I'll begin when I woke up to my alarm clock at 9:00 a.m. not remembering why I had to get up so early. Oh yes! the beach with Kotahn, thats right. So I lazily trudge out of my bed, and into the shower. I eat breakfast, got on my trunks, packed, and we're off to pick up Kotahn. I get to his house and his older sister who is in collage lets me in the door, and I see Kotahn frantically running to gather his things, including some soup, because he hadn't eaten. (He just got back from Cross-country practice.) Then we packed his things in the trunk and we were off to the beach.
On the car ride there, we talked about random stuff, T.V., summer, family. Then we got there. Leo Carillo Beach.
We parked, got out and unloaded our stuff. After that we walked down a ways, ( about 45 feet from the car ) to find the entrance. Then my Mom said lets go back the other way to find a different entrance. Sigh, thats when it happened, my mom turned around while carrying a bag, and a chair, and tripped in a pot-whole. She fell on her knees, and just sat there, and slumped her head down. At first I thought it was just out of embarrassment that she had fallen, but then I asked if she was ok, and she didn't answer and then I knew something was really wrong, I walked over to her and asked her again and she just shook her head, I helped her up and she was standing for about 15 seconds just standing in place until she fell down again, then she screamed in pain, and I saw her ankle and I knew, Dislocated. I had no idea what to do, I'm asking my mom, do you want me to call 911? Should I get one of the Life guards? She didn't answer me, so I told Kotahn to run and get a Life Guard as fast as he could, ( Thank god he's the fastest runner on Cross-country. ) I stayed with my mom and waited for him to come back, my sister started to cry, and I had to try and calm her, I don't blame her for crying, I would too, If I had no idea what was wrong with my mom, and she was just crying in pain. I got my mom some water, for her, and she drank that. Then Kotahn finally ran back, and close behind were two Lifeguard trucks. Phew.
When they finally came, it was like a whole show, I told the Life Guards what happened, and they agreed that it was dislocated. Then my mom told Kotahn to take my sister out to the sand for a bit so she didn't have to watch. I stayed with my mom to make sure she was ok, getting the things the Life guards asked for. Then a fire-truck, red truck, ambulance and another Life guard car came up and all helped my mom. Eventually the friends we were supposed to meet up at the beach (my sisters friends mom's which were also my mom's friends. ) showed up and helped out my mom. they took Kotahn, My sister and I to the beach, while my mom went to the hospital, I made sure my mom would be ok, and then I told her good by as she left in the ambulance. I called my dad, of course my luck he was in a meting at Warner Bros. So I had to leave a message, once my mom left, Kotahn, my sister and I went down to the beach with my mom's friends. We planned it out, since one of the parents rode with another parent, she would dive us back in my moms car so we could get the car back. ( That was probably the second luckiest thing that day, next to having Kotahn there to help me. ) After we got all that situated Kotahn and I went back to the car to get the food we had packed for lunch. and happened to take a picture of the pot hole as well. hehe.
After we got back to where we were sitting on the beach, me a Kotahn ate lunch, and talked about random stuff, Life, BZP, ideas, jokes. I kept a keen eye on my sister like I promised my mom, and I kept checking my cell to make sure I hadn't missed a call form anyone. Later after taking pictures and relaxing in the sun, my Uncle called and gave me the info about what was going on. My mom had apparently fractured her right angle on both sides of it. Sigh... I felt terrible. Luckily he said she was ok, my dad was with her which made me feel a lot better.
After that we stayed at the beach for a couple of hours, and then went home. After getting home, I gave my sister a shower, and then I told Kotahn he was staying for dinner for all of the help he did. I ordered pizza. It was good, then we played Wii ( MarioKart.) Then he went home because I had to put my sister to bed. Finally mom and dad came home, and my mom was on crutches. Lets just say she doesn't like them. It looks like I'm going to be taking care of her for the next couple of weeks while her leg heals. Sigh, oh well, on a happier note my girlfriends back from vacation and I get to see her tommorow. yay!
Well, I'm off to rest I have a head ache and I'm very exhausted, and I smell like saltwater. Scratch resting, I'm taking a shower.
Tah, Tah!
