We were in the car on the way to the hospital I had butterflies in my stomach and I wasn't sure if I was ready for surgery. It was really hard because I couldn't eat. I kept barfing because I had nothing in my stomach. It felt like I missed half of first grade. It was so uncomfortable, my fingers were so swelled up. They were the size of pickles! I was so disappointed because I missed school and a field trip to Roxborough Park. Later on that year my family and I went on a hike through the park and it was awesome. The reason I had surgery was because I broke my arm two times in the same area. The first time I broke my arm I fell down the stairs. The second time I broke it because they took the cast off too early and I fell on my arm. The doctors thought it would be best if I had surgery to put a rod in my arm to help it heal. After about a year with the rod in my arm I had another surgery to get the rod out. Now, I am "rod-free!"
