guess what? I FRICKEN SPRAINED MY ANKLE. Like, really bad. UGH.
It happened at basketball camp yesterday afternoon and I don't even know how. One moment I was jumping up to get the rebound and then another, I felt myself land completely sideways on my ankle. It hurt like hell. I legit, screamed out loud and just grabbed the pole of the hoop and started crying and cursing.
Apparently, there was a part on the base of the hoop that stuck out just a little and I guess one foot came down on that just in the slightest way and completely threw me off balance.
The coaches there came over and were like, "Are you okay? Do you want some ice?" And I was like, "no.. no it's fine, I'm fine." But one of my coaches came over and saw my ankle and was like, "Holy shit, that just blew up! You're getting ice whether you want it or not!" ... And indeed it did, blow up.
I was walking fine on it which is weird. It was super swollen and should have been hurting me a ton. I think it was all the adrenaline. Immediately I was thinking, "shitshitshit. This is gonna ruin everything." And sure enough the head coach icing me said I might be out for 2 weeks. Greeeat.
So I had to sit out the last hour of camp, had to watch my Tuesday night basketball game and had to just sit around on my ass all day and ice it. It's huge. And this morning when I woke up I couldn't even walk. It has color in it today so I couldn't go to camp on my coach's order.
Now I'm just home and I'm freaking out. I'm so frickken restless and it's pissing me off. I can't do ANYTHING. I just want to jump up and run. I've never had an ankle injury before. I've rolled it before during a game and just shook it off, I always did that. Now I actually have to take care of it.
Maybe now that I have nothing to do I can post that fic.
injuries,
