Fun In The Sun–With a Broken Bone

Summer time. It’s supposed to be a fun time to hang out with friends, meet boys and go swimming. Having a broken bone doesn’t even cross you’re mind. But what if you did break a bone during the summer? You wouldn’t be able to go swimming. If it was a foot or leg or ankle break and/or sprain then it would complicate things even more. You couldn’t go to the mall on crutches, or if you did, it’d be very hard because you couldn’t carry your shopping bags.  Broken bones can really affect your social life and your summer fun. But it doesn’t have to. Here’s some ideas that you can do so that you can still have fun regardless of your broken bones.

• Get a mani or pedi. If you’ve got a broken foot/leg get a mani with a friend. If you’ve got a broken wrist/arm/finger get a pedi with a friend.
• Go to the movies. A broken arm shouldn’t affect this. If you’re on crutches, you might have some difficulty getting up the stairs to the seats, so try sitting in the middle instead of the way back. 
• Make a scrap book online. It might be hard with a broken arm, but it shouldn’t be hard with a broken leg. A good website for making a scrapbook would be www.shutterfly.com Another website to edit pictures on is www.picnik.com
• Make your own music.  Try your hand at writing songs. If you hurt your arm, maybe even make a music video with your friends. If you’ve broken your leg, maybe film your friends in a video or even be in some scenes sitting down.

I hope none of you DO have a broken bone (like I do) but if you or a friend does, try doing one of these activities.
