My Broken Bone

About two years ago I broke my collarbone. I was sleeping up in the big bed at my grandparent' house one night. All of a sudden near my shoulder hurt real bad. I had fallen off of the bed while I was sleeping. I had to be taken to the hospital. Mommy held me the whole way there, while Gramps drove. Grammy came also came with us. I hurt really bad. I cried a lot, and I am a tough guy. We had to waiting in a room for a while before the lady called us back, for the doctor. They took something that is called an x-ray of my bones. The lady told me to smile cause they were taking my picture. So I smiled. She thought it was funny. I don't know why though, since she told me to smile. The doctor came in and told us that my collarbone was broken. I got a brace put on my shoulders. It was suppose to hold them still. I guess that is so the bone could get better. He told my mom and me I couldn't do a lot of running and jumping while it was broken. I didn't like that, since I love to run around and wrestle with my brothers. I came home and went to sleep. In the morning all my brothers and sister came to see if I was alright. They gave me lots of attention, since I was hurt. I liked that they played with me and watched my movies with me more. I had a lot of trouble sleeping. I had to sleep on my back. Whenever I rolled on my right side, I woke up and cried because it hurt. I didn't get much sleep for a while, since it hurt me. I will definitely will be more carefully next time, since breaking your collarbone is not fun at all. Now when I sleep in a big bed, they put pillows on the edge of the bed.
