Today just was not my day at all!
I started off my day by being wobbly and not careful on my bike. Long story
short I fell and hit my ankle in between my bike and the curb. I also somehow
scrapped up my other leg and my hands and arm even though I was wearing pants
and a jacket. All the soldiers were outside doing PT and I was so embarrassed
that I didn’t even have time to think about the pain or crying, I just yelled I
was ok and rode off fast. By the time I got to the center I realized my ankle
hurt really bad and that my leg was bleeding. I spent my morning finding the
pain and swelling in my ankle getting worse and trying to just hobble around
from room to room. The morning seemed to take forever because of my ankle hurting.
When I got off for my split I was really sad, but I was responsible by not
going to the gym. I even thought about just doing abs in my room but I decided
to let my whole body rest and hope that that would make my ankle feel better. I
was productive and worked on homework and took all my open bags of things
(granola, pretzels, almonds, snacks, etc) and put them in snack zip locks to
keep freshness and realized I had more food than I thought. I also had the
biggest bowl of cereal ever because just like always there was that awkward
amount of too much for one bowl but not enough for two (because it was grits
for breakfast this morning and I choked down a little bit but I was still
hungry). Before I left, the lady in charge of the Kinders said she would call
her husband to bring a wrap and stuff for my ankle when she went on break since
he works at the health clinic (it’s right across from the barracks but we can’t
use it and I absolutely will not go back to a German doctor and have them keep
me for a week because of a twisted ankle). So the rest of the day I was like a
sitting duck. I literally was there just to keep ratio but I had ice and my
foot up everywhere. Turns out I just hit my ankle at the weakest point where it
bends so although it is no major damage it just hurts to walk. I feel bad and
that made the day drag on forever, but at least I was there. I got tape, an ace
bandage, and some ice packs to help me tonight and I just pray it gets better
by Friday when we go to Paris. To make it worse we had to stay for the staff
meeting and we were at work until 7:30 pm. It was a long just what went well
what do we need to improve meeting and it felt pointless to be there. It was a
long hard day and I just want to rest and hope that I wake up with a brand new
ankle in the morning =(
