One day I got the brilliant idea to ride a scooter down a wet driveway. Well, it slipped and the handlebars went into my ribs. I was only a little bruised, or so I thought. A few days the small bruise type pain was still there, but the bruising was gone. Also, now every time I took a deep breath, it hurt a lot. So I went to the doctor. They took an X ray but said everthing was fine and the pain should go away in a few days. Well, a few days came and went. Then it really started hurting to take any sort of deep breath whatsoever. So then like two weeks after I went to the doctor I get a letter in the mail saying they reviewed the X-rays again and I have a cracked rib (hariline fracture). No wonder I couldn't take deep breaths without hurting myself. There was nothing to do to fix it except relax and wait. So, I couldn't participate in PE for like 3 weeks and I got an F on my report card, the only one ever. But I brought it back up to an A by writing five 2 page reports on different sports.
