Cripple!Katie

[Iceman]

So I hurt my ankle doing a jump-turn in Guard Sunday. And it's realllly swollen. And I went to the doctor, and whadaya know?! It's sprained. Maaaybe fractured, but if it is it's just a little sliver of bone that came off and they can't do anything about it anyway, can't even tell it's there with an X-Ray till it starts healing I guess, so yeah.

I'm on crutches for a week, and I'm not practicing at Guard. But the last football game I'll EVER be in is Friday, and the last competition I'll EVER be in is Saturday. I'm going to try to do both, but I won't be able to do jumps and stuff and it's kind of a bummer that I won't be doing my best at my last shows ever.

But my main complaint right now is that crutches suck and they hurt my armpits and they make my arms hurt (and my stomach, for some odd reason) and they make my armpits sweaty which SUPER sucks.

But really, I'm not too bad off. *hugs everyone* I love you guys!!!

Awww, get better soon!

*hugs*

... does this mean that we get more of you, since you don't have practice? ;D

[dharma]

That's what I asked too!

And I shall have to disappoint you as I disappointed Renren. No, I'll still have to go to practice, I'll just have to sit there and watch. Boooring!!!

When I get one, I'll sprain myself again and we'll do this right. I keep telling my folks that I need one far in advance of college, so when we go on vacations I'm not bored out of my mind in the car and the hotel and what-not. It'll still be a couple months at least, though, before I get one.

UPDATE!!!
So yesterday my crutches were killing me. I bought grips but they didn't really help. They gave me a blister on my palm that threatened to bust all day (eew, I know, right?), and rubbed my arms red through my sweater, and just generally made my arms and armpits sore. If my armpits had faces, they would cry. Which just makes me smile to picture my armpits having faces. I hope for their sakes they don't have noses. Ha ha!!!

But today I put washcloths on the hand things and handtowels on the arm things, and today they're a bit better. I have to go to practice today, which sucks, but hopefully I'll remember to bring my lawn chair when I go home for lunch, so I'll have somewhere to sit. Should bring two, really, to put my foot up. And I ought to bring ice and Icy Hot and a blanket and lots of things that will make me look very injured. Ha ha.
