I assume you all know that over the summer Emily was working down at Bryce Canyon doing a dinner show. During the last week she would be there, on Wednesday, the boys took her to the nearby high school to skateboard. She said, "It was very wobbly, so the boys said try going faster." Then she did but she fell off. Later she told us she thought that it was just hurting and would stop in a minute but it didn’t stop. One of the boys said, " Stay laying there and I’ll Jump over you." The other boy said, "I think she’s hurt, we should take her to the hospital." The doctor said it was broken and showed her the x-ray. He gave her pain stuff and a velcro boot then asked her if she could walk on it. She couldn’t, so he gave her crutches. Later when Emily was talking to Mom she was pretty discouraged because she wouldn’t be able to take her yoga class when she went back to college. The Saturday after, Dad, John, and I went down to see her show, and bring her home, then send her off to college the next day. When Emily was in Idaho she was trying to find an orthopedic doctor because her leg needed to be checked. One of her roommates had grown up in Rexburg and knew all the orthopaedic doctors and told her about the best one around and her roommate's mom took Emily to the doctor. He said she had broken both bones and shouldn’t walk on it for 6 weeks. We also rented her a wheelchair so Lee could push her to classes. Emily's other roommate was a girl from our ward. She is studying peramedicine and is helping Emily to keep the wrap tight enough to keep the swelling down.
