Chapter Twelve: Injured ankle
Catherine walks up to the front door of the house yawning into her left hand, she unlocks the front door of the house and walks into the house. At the same time two labradoodle puppies come running up to Catherine and the puppies are yelps at her, Catherine looks at the puppies that come to the Willows house before Catherine left for work last night and the first puppy to reach Catherine is a little girl puppy, which is gray and white and her name is Gray. Night reaches Catherine next and the puppy is named Night because he is all black. Catherine reaches down and pats Gray and Night and at the same time Lindsey and Kevin walk downstairs and into the living room. Catherine looks up at her daughter and Kevin and sees Lindsey is wearing a pair of black jeans and pink empire waist blouse and Kevin is wearing a black polo shirt and a pair of blue jeans. Lindsey and Kevin walk up the puppies and Catherine and then Kevin put leashes on Gray and Night, at the same time Katie wheels her wheelchair over to the puppies, Kevin, Lindsey and Catherine and Catherine notice Katie is wearing a black jean skirt and purple blouse. Katie takes the short leash of Night, who is in training to be her service dog and then Katie puts on his purple nylon dog vest harness onto Night. The vest harness also says service dog in training on both sides of the vest and has a clear plastic pocket on the side that has Night picture ID in the pocket and patch on both side of the vest that say service dog in training do not pat.
“Lindsey’s are the three of you taking the puppies out for a walk before for school?”
“Yes mom.”
“Ok, but when the three of you get home keep it down, because I am exhaust and I am going to bed.”
“Sure mom we will be quiet and do you want me to sent Gray upstairs before we leave for school?”
“Yes, that way she can let me know when she needs to go outside to use the bathroom.”
Kevin, Lindsey, Katie and the two puppies Gray and Night head outside and Catherine close the door behind Katie who is the last one out of the house. Catherine then heads upstairs to the master bedroom and changes into a gray nightshirt, then gets into bed and fell right to sleep. Meanwhile, Kevin and Lindsey are laughing at the sight of Katie walking Night for the first time and wheel her wheelchair toward the dog park, but Kevin and Lindsey know they have to let Katie walk Night without helping her because Night is learning to walk along sided of the right-hand side of Katie’s wheelchair and not run in front of the wheelchair or pull the wheelchair, when on a flat surface, he can help Katie by pull her up a ramp if Katie needs help get up the ramp. Lindsey is walking Gary and the puppy walks into Sara and Gil front yard and the puppy is sniffing around the yard.
“Gary’s come on, we are walking on the sidewalk and are going to the dog park, this is our neighbors’ yard not the park.”
Gray takes off a full speed and run back onto the sidewalk and then Gray start running down the sidewalk toward the park, making Lindsey’s run too. Once Kevin, Lindsey, Katie and the puppies get to the park, they let Gray and Night off their leashes, since the dog park is fenced and the puppies start run around the park. Lindsey and Kevin watch the puppies playing and Lindsey decides to play catch with Gray and Katie is playing catch with Night too, because today is the first day he will be going to school and working and she wants him to have some fun this morning. After a few minutes of playing catch with Gray, Lindsey put her right foot into a mole hole and twist her right ankle and pain start shoot up the ankle. Lindsey pulls her foot out of the mole hole and takes a few steps to see what it feels like to walk on the hurt ankle. Lindsey stop walking because the ankle hurts, but Gray runs up to Lindsey and is wigging her tail. Lindsey takes the ball from the puppy mouth and throws the ball. Gray runs after the bell and Lindsey lift her right foot of the ground and move the foot and ankle around, but stop because it only makes the ankle hurt more. Lindsey puts her foot back down on the ground and pushes through the pain, because she is having too much fun to stop playing catch with Gray. Katie looks over at Lindsey and knows that Lindsey is hiding something from her and Kevin, but before she can say anything to Lindsey Night come running up to her with the ball and he drops the ball into her lap and at the same time Lindsey run after Gray who is now catching a duck that fly into the dog park. After being at the park for a half hour it is time to leave because Katie, Lindsey and Kevin need to go home and finish getting ready for school and Katie needs to get Night ready for his first day of going to school with her. Katie put Night leash on and Lindsey put Gray leash on and then Kevin, Katie and Lindsey with the two puppies leave the dog park. Katie is in front of Lindsey Gray and Kevin and she is wheeling her wheelchair toward the Willows home and Night is walking on the right-hand side of Katie’s wheelchair and he is not walking faster then Katie. Lindsey keeps up with Kevin at first, but then her ankle start hurt too badly and she has to start walking slowly. Katie, Night and Kevin reach the front door of the house at the same time. Katie open up the front door and then Katie and Night heads inside the house, Kevin close the front door once Katie and Night is inside and he waits for Lindsey and Gray who are still five houses away. Kevin notices that Lindsey is walking slowly and Gray trying to make Lindsey walk faster. Kevin open up the front door, as Lindsey walks up to the door. Then Lindsey, Gray and Kevin walk into the house, Lindsey let Gray off the leash once Kevin has closed the front door Gray run upstairs and into Catherine’s bedroom, seeing the door to the master bedroom is open and the puppy jumps up and to the bed. Gray then lay down next to Catherine, as Katie wheels her wheelchair to her bedroom and Night walk beside Katie. At the same time Kevin and Lindsey takes off they shoes and then the two of them start walking over to the staircase, when they reach the staircase Lindsey and Kevin start walking up the stairs, but after make it up four steps Lindsey stops walking and leans up against the railing of the staircase. Kevin does not notice because he is focusing on get up the stairs on his crutch. After resting for a few moments Lindsey slowly starts walking again but after only three steps her right ankle gives out. Lindsey grabs the rail and stops herself from fell down. Lindsay slowly sits down on the seventh steps and start crying, because the pain is too much to handle. After sitting on the step for a minute Lindsey knows that Kevin would probably be wonder where she at, so she stands up from the step with all her weight on the left leg, then puts the right foot onto the step, but pick up the right ankle up after a few seconds, because it hurt too badly to put weight on her right ankle. Lindsey sits down on the seventh step and start crying into her hands. At the same time Catherine wakes up from her sound sleep and sit up in her bed, because she has a feeling that something has happened to Lindsey. Catherine gets out of bed and then walks out of her bedroom into the hallway and is followed by Gray. Catherine sees that Kevin and Lindsey’s bedroom door is open and no one is in the bedroom, then see the door of the main bathroom on the second floor is close, at the same time Gray run by Catherine and toward the staircase. Catherine walks over to the staircase and sees Lindsey sitting on the seventh step and that Lindsey is crying really hard into her hands and that Gray is standing beside Lindsey and the puppy is trying to make Lindsey’s feel better.
“Linds what is wrong, is it the babies?”
“No, I was playing catch with Gray in the dog park and I put my right foot into a mole hole and twisted my right ankle. My ankle was sore when it happened, but was not bothering me that bad, so I continue to play with Gray. My right ankle start hurt more as Katie, Kevin and I brought the puppies home and by the time I walk over to the staircase I was limping. As I was walking up the staircase my right ankle gave out, I sat down on the seventh step for a minute and then stand up with all my weight on my left leg, then I put my right foot down on the step to see if I could put weight on my right ankle but it hurt too badly to put weight on the ankle, so I pick the foot off of the step and then I sat down on the step.”
Catherine Kneels in front of her daughter and lightly pick up Lindsey’s right ankle and looks at the ankle, which is black and blue and has starts to swell up. Catherine looks up at Lindsey with a worried look on her face and sees that Lindsey is wipe the tears off her face with both of her hands, as Gray lick Lindsey’s left ear.
“Mom, do you think I break my ankle because Sara will be so mad at me there is only three weeks and six days left to her wedding?”
“No but I think you should go to the ER and have the ankle look at, to be on the safe side.”
“Ok.”
At the same time Kevin come hop over to them on his crutches and see Catherine looking at Lindsey’s right ankle. Kevin sits down on the step next to Lindsey and take her left hand and Gray is now sitting on Lindsey’s lap and she is licking the tears off of Lindsey face.
“I hear what your mom side Linds do you want me to come with you to the ER, honey?”
“No, go to school and get my homework for today, I will get a note from the ER that will cover my abuse for today.”
“Good, because without a doctor note, the school would not give you an excuse abuse seeing you used all your excuse abuse days up.”
“Linds, I will go get ready and then I will take you to the ER.”
“Ok, Kevin’s you, Katie and Night need to get going to school and I will see you tonight.”
“I love you Lindsey.”
“I love you too.”
