Hello beautiful people! You will not believe what happened to me this week. \ud83e\udee0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a beautiful Tuesday, and I was on a walk with my family and our dogs. There was my mom, my two brothers, and our six dogs! My dad was at work. XP Well, anyways, we climbed the hill -which is my least favorite part of every walk-, and then we were going down the hill. My baby (Violet), was pulling hard on her leash, so I figured I would run for her, and we were going down hill, so I thought, it should be easy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will never again run down a hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was running down the hill, stumbling along -it’s a nature trail, so plenty of bumps, roots, and the like- when it happened. My foot must have caught on a root, or something, because the next thing I knew, all I could feel was pain. The worst pain I ever felt in my entire fifteen years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I lay on the trail, screaming my head off. I couldn’t think, move, or do anything. I just lay there, my whole existence filled with pain. Now, as I look back, the pain is really all I can even remember, but even that has faded. All I am left with is the fear of experiencing that pain again, and the aftermath of my injury. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It took a while for my mom to even semi-calm me down. Once I could breath again, and think -a bit-, my mom asked me the most random questions to keep me preoccupied. So there we sat, waiting. So much waiting. Because, you see, I was out in the middle of no where, with only one usable leg. My brothers had to go get our side by side to pick me up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rest of that day was filled with me trying to ignore the pain, ibuprofen, and TV, lots pf TV. XD <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you can see, I am still alive a few days later. \ud83e\udd2a My pain level, which was at a 12 (out of 10) when it happened, is now around a 2 or 3! I still can’t walk, but I can put a bit of weight on my leg. My daily life hasn’t changed much, but I do a lot more siting; which is saying A LOT. I have crutches, and knee brace (I love my knee brace), and they do help. Though using the crutches had been killing my shoulders… And I can’t make it far without siting down. XD<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, that’s all I have to tell! If I left something out that you wanted to hear about, just let me know in the comments. Also, I would like to thank all of my family. \ud83d\udc9c They have been absolutely AMAZING. Helping me out with everything I need; whether it’s getting up and down stairs, or tucking the blanket around my cold toes. XP They have been so wonderful, and I have never appreciated my family more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Special thanks to my brother, E, who basically picked me up those first few days. I would never have been able to do it without him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
