I spent majority of my time on my research paper in class and it is coming along pretty well. I got most of my reading time this week from reading Michael Vey 6: Fall of Hades and fishing The Red Queen.
Why is the post titled Wednesday if I'm talking about my reading time? Because I'm not actually going to. All my life I've been told that I have very high pain tolerance. Honestly, I didn't really believe them. Yes I have had a few concussions, broken bones, scrapes, and bruises but nothing that hurt too bad, until Wednesday.
I was at basketball practice and I guess my foot slipped or I step on one of my teammate's feet and my foot went the wrong way. I am not really sure but I went home and the next day my foot was swollen and it sort of hurt to walk. But I ignored it because we had a JV game that day that I had to play in. So guess what I did, I played. I limped around most of the game but I played the whole game and when I woke up the next morning I could not walk at all. My mom actually had to carry me to the couch. So, that day I hobbled around like a penguin everywhere as some of you probably saw, and I did not practice that Friday night. After practice I went to the Orthopedic Clinic on Bluebonnet and found out that I strained two things and possibly fractured my foot again. Which means, I am in a boot. I am not sure how long I will be in the boot but I am getting an MRI on Tuesday to find out. Hopefully it's just the two strains and not a fracture. High pain tolerance can be a good thing and a bad thing, in this case it was bad. I did not listen to the pain I was feeling and possibly hurt my foot really bad. So my advice to you all is to listen to your body.
I really like your use of vivid imagery, word choice, and I hope you get better soon. I also like your reflection of your situation at the end of the post.
ReplyDeleteListening to your body is something everyone needs to learn how to do. Good job on this blog post.
