I felt like an old crippled Grandma today

I went to the doctor today to get my tailbone and wrist x-rayed. It took forever. It turned out good and the results were positive. My tailbone and wrist are only bruised. They told me it would take four weeks to heal. I sure hope it heals in four days, cause its warming up and I want to get out and do those summer fun things like football, biking, soccer, running, ect.

This morning it took me thirty five minutes to get to my class when it usually in the past at full health only took me ten minutes. I was walking up by the library and ran into the first person I know. She said "are you OK, cause your walking kind of funny?" I explained what happened and went on my way. A little while later I ran into my roommate Ben who knew I was in pain. We laughed from how weird I was walking. We didn't talk long because I needed to get to class. When I was walking away Ben said "good luck turtle boy!" When I got to class it took me a lot longer to sit down and everyone around me asked the same question. I explained and got prepared for class. One of the girls that was sitting around me saw it happen and said "that looks like it hurt." I got a lot of weird looks today. I really felt like I am handicapped.

So after class I went to the bookstore to get some Ibuprofen. I put it on the counter and the girl asked "are you doing alright?" I explained and she told me her friend broke his tailbone and it took two years to heal properly. It kind of scared me.

I luckily saw one of my teammates in the MC and he offered to give me a ride to the health center. When I went to get in his car I was about to ask "could you lift me into the car" like someone would with a person in a wheelchair. It took me forever to get in the car. I really felt like a crippled old Grandma!

Thank goodness for Ibuprofen! I at least now feel like a 22 year old that got injured and not a crippled old Grandma!

LIFE IS GOOD!
