Sprain Pain

Ridiculous. Yesterday, Richard and I were on our way out the door and let's just say I barely made it out! Here's how the sprain pain came about... Richard went out to the car and I was getting my shoes on and going to lock the door. I stepped out the doorway on my left foot, started to pivot to lock the door from the outside and wham! Snap, crackle, pop! I was down on the ground with a hurting ankle. I was able to gather my almost-passed-out self enough to get Richard's attention. He came and helped me get back inside. I was still feeling very woozy but eventually crawled to the couch to apply ice and elevate my ankle. After much contemplation, I decided I better have it checked out at Urgent Care. An hour and a half later, the prognosis is a 2-3 degree sprain. I recieved a brace, crutches, pain relief and a hard time from Richard. I should be completely healed in a short 6 weeks. Yesterday and today I have spent much more time on the couch and in bed than I have in a VERY long time. It is difficult to be this helpless. My pocket on my sweatshirt comes in very handy when I need to carry items from point A to point B. The crutches provide much relief to my ankle, but can be clumbersome and really work your arm muscles! Hopefully, I will be off of them by the end of the week. Argghh..... this is ridiculous!

Tuckered Out

Another weekend of my Master's class is done. This month and next month the class is "Creative Movement." It was an action packed weekend since class was held every minute it was scheduled. Friday night:5-10PM, Saturday: 8AM-5PM, Sunday:8AM-5:05PM. Whew! In addition, all last week I was finishing up a final project for my last class. I mailed that off on my was to Friday night's class. Whew!

I am back in the game at school. It was great to see my class again. It was FABULOUS to go back to a classroom that has carpet! So delightful. We had to move quite a bit in order for them to lay the carpet and I am still sorting through boxes now. I think it is harder to get it put away than it was to pack it up. The room is much quieter and the kids are happy that their bums don't get cold during calendar and read aloud. Life is good.
