I must be getting old.

Unfortunately, this is fall number three on my poor foot. 

Yeah-- there is an ugly lace up brace on it. I've gotten a few people to think its some hooker boot. and then they realize I'm only wearing one boot. haha!!

But anyways, I just wanted to express how thankful I am that the three times I've hurt it, it hasn't been serious. 

My first time spraining it I was about 9 years old, and my foot got caught somehow in a stationary workout  bike that you find in a weight room. I'm not sure how, but I sprained it pretty bad and it took 2 weeks to heal. 

My second time was about 3 weeks ago. I was weed-eating on a hill, and somehow I lost my balance, and my ankle rolled and I fell on the cement and couldn't get back up. 

This time around, I was at this awesome place!! (Anti-Gravity Trampoline Arena!!)

It's this huge, way fun tampoline, and I was on a date there when it happened. My date was trying to "steal my bounce" when it happened. I landed on my feet wrong, and I heard a snap, and then I couldn't get back up. The staff worker thankfully was a nurse, and he said nothing was broken, just keep off my foot for awhile. 

All I just wanted to say, is how thankful I am that I had 3 unfortunate opportunities to severely hurt myself, and none of it happened. When I was weed-eating, I could have hit my head on the cement I landed on and could have burned myself severely with the weed whacker I was using. This time, I could have really broken a bone, since the pain was a LOT worse than it was the first two times. I'm thankful that God watches out and protects me. I can't take for granted for just having a sprained ankle. Although it hurts a lot still to walk on, there are people out there that are in much more pain than I am, and I am thankful for what I have. 

So everything is OKAY here in Cedar City!! :D
