I wanted to show my brother how to use his new skateboard but I went down a ramp which was too high and fell onto my wrist and leg. It was very sore and I was very scared. Mum said I needed have an X ray at the hospital.
There were a lot of people there and I was scared, but I met a lovely nurse called Claire and she checked my wrist and made me smile. She also talked to my mum and my brother.
The man who took my X ray was really quick and he showed me what to do - it wasn't as scary as I thought. Then Claire said I could see my bones which was brilliant. I didn't break anything but now I know if I ever have to go back it is not scary and if Claire is there I would be very happy.
