November 10
Well it has been a very interesting week. So get this, last pday we were playing basketball. It was alot of fun, of course until someone gets hurt, in my case, me! I went up for a layup shot and when i came down, i landed on another elders foot and rolled my ankle. I heard a loud pop too! its wasn’t too good. Within 30 seconds, my foot was swelled up the size of a grapefruit! i could barely walk on it. So i called sister archibald and asked her what i should do about it. She told me to rest on it for a few days and see if it gets any better. So a few days went by and it still looked crappy. My foot was turning purple and 2 days ago my toes started to turn purple too! we didn’t do hardly anything except sit around. We had a grand total of 3 lessons the whole week! very sad.
So today we finally went to the doctor to get my foot checked. He looked at it and moved it around and put pressure on a few areas and kept asking, “does that hurt? does that hurt? how about that?” and i said yes yes and YES!! ouch haha, he gave me a paper and said go to this other clinic and get x-rays. we went there and waited for sister archibald to show up to pay for the x-rays cause they wouldn’t x-ray until its paid, so we waited for about a hour then finally got them done, in about 5 mins. Then they gave us a cd with the x-rays on them and we took them back to the doctor and he looked at them. He said, see this bone and this bone, by the looks of your foot they shouldn’t look like that. They should be broken. Thank goodness it wasn’t, but he said that i tore some tissues which caused the bruses, and streched some ligaments. He said, i can’t play any sports for 1 month and i can’t run, but to just take it easy and walk slow. He said he’d put it in a cast but it wouldn’t help anything. I’m glad it isn’t broke but is just very sore!
