My Clumsiness is Hilarious
I sprained my ankle by going down one step into my garage on a Monday morning. For real. I waited until after lunch to go to the doctor because I twist my ankles so frequently that I needed to wait and see if this was serious. Apparently it was. I have a grade 3 sprain and was given crutches… Not good for someone like me. Luckily I was able to go to an orthopedist and got an air cast for my foot. I have to use this for three weeks!
When I took our girls to school the next day, everyone working there just laughed at me - in a kind-spirited way, not meanly. I left a message for my best friend and it made her day - the only thing that made her laugh that day. My poor oldest daughter has the identical problem with walking (and riding her bike, and climbing trees, and playing on the monkey bars). She has broken 8 bones and sprained one ankle, in 4 1/2 years. I have only broken 3 bones and had 2 sprains. She wins.
