Out For Spring Football!

Well everyone, my right leg is all casted up after I hurt my right knee and ankle last Tuesday during football practice. We were doing a drill called runway, and I took a step and my foot got stuck in the mushy ground and my knee popped then my ankle popped as well. I was a hooting and hollering when I hit the ground but luckily I didn’t do anything to my ACL. So on Thursday afternoon I went to our team’s orthopedic surgeon, and we decided to cast my right leg until next Monday, April 20, 2009. So everyone, if you haven’t ever tried to walk with crutches before, they suck so badly. Your triceps get sore really fast, and it takes you so long to get around everywhere. And the crutches aren’t the half of it. Since I have a cast on my foot now, the parents decided to take my truck away for this week until I get my walking cast on next Monday. They took it away so I didn’t have any urges to try and drive. It really stinks not being able to drive, since my life is so hectic. My parents came down for my appointment on Thursday, so my dad drove me and my truck home. We didn’t have school on Friday; they were calling it a mini spring break. Friday, my parents and I went fishing, which was really hard since I always help my dad out with the boat and everything. It was hard to just sit there and have him do everything. We didn’t catch anything but really didn’t try to fish that hard. I dropped a pole in the lake a couple weeks earlier, and we tried to snag it for at least two hours. On Saturday night, my dad talked to one of his old friends who scuba dives, so my dad is going to have him dive down and get our pole. On Saturday, I went to Bozeman with Abby and her parents so we could have Easter with her family. Her two little twin nieces had a blast at the Easter egg hunt, and then we went to the mall and saw the Easter Bunny. After the mall we had a barbeque at her brother’s house and came back around seven that night. Sunday we had dinner at my house. We cooked fajitas and nachos, and Abby, Vance, Autumn and Brad all came over so we had a really nice dinner. Abby drove me home last night and stayed the night. We really didn’t do anything but watch a little TV and go to bed. She went home this morning after she dropped me off at the HPER so I could try to lift, which didn’t work out. You don’t really realize how much you push off your foot when you do upper body lifting.
