Yup ... That Hurt

So yesterday we were playing soccer, like every morning.. well for me, for morning exercise. Usually there's like 3 girls that play, Polly, Christine, and I but Christine strayed off somewhere else this week so it was me (playing) and Polly standing in net against/with a hand full of skilled Europeans and some random others. So Chris, South African, and I were fighting for it and as we were, I guess my body decided to screw me over and twist my ankle in so that when I took a step I would suddenly be in agony - so that's what it did. It hurt.. a lot. So I got driven back to base.. in a a lot of pain in that standard car and as the time passed it just got worse and worse. So Landry, leader, came by and diagnosed it - pulled tendons over that bone that sticks out on the outside of the ankle that I wish I could remember the name of. By the end of the day it didnt hurt as much anymore but it was the size of a baby watermelon haha. It was massive. Then I woke up this morning. Thought I would go have a shower while everyone else was at exercises. So I grabbed my krutches and tried to hobble along .. unfortunately, little to my knowledge, my right krutch was stuck in who knows what and never followed a long side me and I feel forward straight on - all my weight - only to left ankle, the one I destroyed yesterday. Yay me!
So that takes me here.. in pain, unable to think without it hurting wish that my stupid krutch had not been caught doing it's own thing causing me to stumble.
All that to say.. at least I dont have to clean toilets this morning :)
Any prayers for a quick healing would be much appreciated. Thanks so much.
Hope everyons enjoying the weather :) it cant last forever right?

according to the groundhog . . . winter's here for at least another 6 weeks. You picked the best winter to head south! It seems like we have more indoor recesses than not because of the windchill . . minus 23 today. :-(
