    “No fractures evident in the x-ray”

    That means no more crutches. I am to report to the athletic trainers for rehab as soon as possible, but only between the hours of 09:00 and 11:00. (?!?). Now I must go to class, because I am late. I am still slow, and I am still tired, but I am not broken.
