So Sunday I decided to learn to Long Board. It was beautiful out, I was wearing my sunglasses and my moccassons, it felt like summer. I'm proud to say, I was doing quite well, getting a little fast and able to stear. I was just really having problems peddling as I was already moving. So I had to learn to put more weight on my front foot when transitioning. So I tried this...well apparently I put to much weight on my front foot and also leaned forward too much. This is how I remember it, it happened to fast really. my foot twisted on the board and then it the ground I used my right leg to steady myself. I'm amazed I didn't actually fall off the board. Well i fell off the board..but not on the ground.
Initially I thought i Just rolled my ankle. So I decided to walk it off a little. But clearly that wasn't working. The pain in my foot kept changing. When I put pressure on it, it was hurting less then no pressure, which is what gave me the thought that walking it off was a good idea. Then I just decided it hurt to much and I was just going to stay in one place until it stopped, but it didn't so i figured I better make my way back to them. Now during all this Gabbi, Paul and Paula had no idea where i was because I was bent over behind a bush. and there were some cars parked around me, I was in Gabbi's apartment building parking lot.
So i'm limping back over to them when they realize, i've hurt myself..none of us thought it was as bad as it was. So i sit on my board and realize that there is a bone or something sticking out of my foot. Well not right out of my foot, still under the skin.
Now at this moment in time i'm finding this whole situation
HALARIOUS.
I just couldn't stop lauging.
So we decide to go to the clinic thinking, Hey something must have popped out and they just have to pop it back. Within like a minute of being in the clinic office the doctor told me to go to emergency and gave me crutches. I even found this halarious. I really don't know why I just thought it was the funniest thing ever. Then I had to call my mom to take me. And BAM, the sound of my mom's voice made my cry, Mother's do that to do. And the rest is really short I guess, go to Emergency, there for 2 hours, xray, a lot of walking around from place to place, waiting for nurses, different onces everytime that were all very vague. Then go home.
(and thats not my x-ray, i found that online)
I've already realised this is going to be an interesting few weeks. I feel extremely helpless i need to rely on everyone. When i'm home alone I just get so frustrated i'm brought to tears. But it's definitely going to be an amazing experience to learn more about myself and more than that, God. I'm always the person doing everything, taking on everything, never just sitting on the couch. Sitting on the couch all day and not getting out of the house drives me INSANE! but thats what these next few weeks are. I'm ready to give up on crutches. They make my whole upper body sore. And I can't get anywhere on them. But this is definitely an important thing I have to go through.
At least I can say I broke my foot doing something cool, AND the Canucks won for me that night.
What is living life without risks?
