Sorry my friends!!!!
Life has been quite crazy. I tried to blog my story on Monday, but it didn’t work for some odd reason. So I’m blogging in between classes, so you do not think that I have completely abandoned you.
One of the major things I want to write about is what happened on February 9th…
February 9th is going to go down in our church history, I am afraid to state. That Saturday was when we held the 11th annual Christ Fellowship Ski Trip. This was to be my first year. My boyfriend is an avid skier and has been skiing for awhile, so I felt that I had to attempt it. He is very active and athletic, which I am not. While he is jumping and flipping off, onto, or through walls, I would be quite comfy on a couch with a great book.
So i went. I was tired, but looking forward to some fun and falls. We approached the first hill and I just kind of went for it. No lesson. No tips and no tricks. Just went down the hill. I didn’t kill myself, but I fell. Spent ten to twenty minutes trying to get up. Wasn’t discouraged, but was mighty proud of myself. Phil then gave me some help about what to do. Went down again and can’t remember exactly, but I’m sure I fell. I did fall quite a few times.
Let’s fast forward just a little. We had gone down once and were now on our second attempt down the hill. I thought I was getting better, but have since heard that I was still doing pretty awful. We were stopping at a bend and as I tried to stop, I fell. Big surprise…not. Yet, this fall was different. As I fell, I felt my right leg twist. Jabs of mind numbing pain went through my knee. Oh, it hurt. I had to get brought down and then make a trip to the ER. It wasn’t fun at all. AT ALL. I hated it. I won’t continue on the rest of the horribleness, but will just say that I had sprained my knee and was unable to do anything for myself.
Update: I’m about 80% better now. I was very giddy last week when I was actually able to go up the stairs in a some what normal fashion. Now I am the master of up and down. Still can’t bend it like the left kneee, but my right knee has made significant progress.
So that has been the past couple of weeks for me. I will update the story soon. I have been receiving feedback and I will continue onward.
