Life of Pride

Yesterday evening I sprained and slightly fractured my left ankle. I am glad it didn't happen over this past weekend, or in three weeks' time. I am glad that Ashlea and my sister Mercy were there to help me get ice and to move around. Beats me how this will help me witness to my team, but I know it will - and has already - because I prayed this week as always that I would serve my team and be a witness for God.
Meanwhile, ow. It hurts. At least I don't need a cast... but so much for showing off my new Frisbee skillz during the first few weeks back at PHC. The ankle's supposed to take 4-6 weeks to heal. I hope I will be able to move back into the dorm and otherwise get around without too much trouble in a little over two weeks.

Oh, Sarah, I'm so sorry. You may remember that I badly twisted my ankle at the Liberty Ball, though it doesn't sound as bad as your injury. It took about 3 weeks until I could walk without pain, 2 months before I could play Ultimate well, and I'm just now able to get back on the treadmill in the workout room at school. I learned a lot about patience and humility, hobbling around school. And it was my right ankle, which made driving painful.
It sounds like you are taking good care of it (which I didn't do to mine, which made it worse). Ice it every day, keep it elevated, do as little with it as possible, especially avoid lots of walking in the heat. And don't wear heels. (I know, that last one should be obvious, but it wasn't to me ...)

Ya... I'm not in the same room 'cause I have a single, but it is on the second floor. :P Life should be interesting!
I think I'll make it though, God willing. It's only been three days, and already I can walk/hobble around slowly.
