Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

The reason I didn't post a journal yesterday was because I was in the hospital, and this time it was because of me. xp

So I'm at soccer practice, right? Not a lot of people showed up and Jenny was shipped off (FINALLY!!!!!) to NH for hockey camp. So we're doing our regular scrimaging and I'm doing pretty well.

Then Sam does the regular, "Next goal wins!" so Haley is being even more aggressive. Zurch crosses the ball in front of the goal and I get the ball first, Haley right at my back. I picked it up and take a step forward...!

...And I roll my ankle.

So I stand there, the ball in my hands, just marveling at the jagged streaks of lightning licking up the side of my leg. I try to ignore it and just punt out the ball, but it hurts too much. Then I say, "Ow..." and fall over. Please commend me, for I did not utter one single cuss word, although they were the only things my mind was screeching. biggrin

So I'm on the ground because I can't tolerate standing on it. The ball was on my stomach but I just kind of push it off because it's all I can do not to start screaming. Then Haley comes up to me, takes the ball, and shoots it!

I'm like, WHAT THE ******** IS WRONG WITH YOU? DO YOU NOT SEE ME ON THE GROUND AND EVERYONE HAS STOPPED ******** PLAYING?

Sam comes over and says, "Megs, you okay?"

And I start laughing and saying I'm not.

"Then why are you laughing?"

*between giggles* "Because if I don't, I'm going to cry!"

"Are you going to cry?" as people gather around.

*completely straight face* "No."

So he helps me up, and lucky me, I get to ride home on the vibrating motorcycle..

Get home, and dad starts making mac n' cheese while I ice, because my ankle was already ballooning.

Mum comes home from driving Jenny to NH, then reccommends we go to get it x-rayed, just to make sure. I said okay, but we had to wait until the mac n' cheese was done.

I eat.

Then long story short, I fall backwards on the porch stairs trying to get to the car (I opt not to use my foot so instead I clonk my head on the wood domokun ), I get to the hospital, attendants in the ER get me a wheelchair, wait forever, get questioned, vitals taken, x-rayed, in waiting room, in another room, they tell me it's not broken, I get an air cast that isn't actually an air cast, get a pill, and get released around nine.

I know it's only protocol to ask someone if they're pregnant, but three times? Gee, thanks guys... emo

Then I got a total of 0 hours of sleep because every time I moved jabs of pain came.

And to use the stairs, I have to slide down on my a**. smile

I've been out of commision for less than 24 hours and already I'm ready to rip my hair out (which has turned a gray color at the tips).

Can't use it for three days, and can't play soccer for at least a week. Wonderful..

And what's even better, there's this massive goose egg on my ankle and my whole foot is this dead purple color.
