My Daughter Sprains Leg

Wednesday, June sixth, two thousand and seven

The day before yesterday my 6 year-old daughter was playing with her friends at school wearing sandals when she twisted her left ankle. We guessed she just sprained it but the doctor who examined her yesterday told my wife that she has a cleavage fracture in her ankle. That's not so serious injury but I feel sorry for her, of course. Besides, she has to stay away from swimming school classes for at least three weeks, the doctor said.
Talking of "cleavage fracture", I hadn't known the word "cleavage" has such a meaning, I knew that it means the space between a woman's breasts. :)


cleavage fracture: 剥離骨折(=avulsion fracture, chip fracture, sprain fracture ???)
