So life here has been slowing down...not because the school is slowing down, but I am. So sit back and enjoy the story of how Mel got crutches!
So it all started about 1 week ago....(blur into flash back) I was playing football with some of the students when I stepped down wrong on my left leg and felt a small pop...I knew this pop from when I was a cheerleader, and knew that it could mean nothing but bad. But did I stop playing or tell the students that something was wrong...of course not so I kept playing...when the game was over I hobbled up to my flat trying to hide that my leg kinda hurt.
Then it started feeling a little better. I was icing it and trying to rest(but I am not very good at it). Then came Saturday. My dorm was going on a trek to a peak called Snowden. I thought that I would be ok, and told my dorm parents that I would be there rain or shine. Well we got into this trek for about 30 mins and I felt that same little pop...I still had about 2 hrs up the mountain, and about 2 hrs down the mountain. I did not tell anyone till we were about 30 mins from the top. Then it became obvious that it was not feeling good since I was limping. I had to finish the walk off before I could do anything. In this time I also had to fight off a cow for one of my little girls. It kept coming at her, and finally I grabbed it by the horns and led it away from the little one. Then when I finally got down I got some ice on my knee and rested it...for about 2 hrs...then it was time for more football(I think I am getting addicted).
So I went out and got a lesson on how to kick and shoot the ball. It was fun but my knee started hurting again.
I did not want to go tell Hoz, but they found out of course. They told me to rest it and ice it. Well I hate having to sit and do nothing, so I just limped/walked around on it since Saturday.
Then today came...I was sitting down resting my knee just like Hoz told me to. When one of the nurses came and asked how it was. I told her it was still hurting, and she said that it should not be if I was resting it. I told her it was impossible to rest it here at school(the whole school is up and down stairs). Then she said the one thing I had been dreading...Well then I think you need CRUTCHES. I asked her if it was an order...she smiled then told me to ask the Father how I should take care of myself and then decide if it was an order. So now I have crutches...I hate them...and am asking the Father to fix my knee soon so that I can get rid of the crutches.
