Fabulous Day

Yesterday was one of those days that was just so insane, you've just got to write it down to remember it. So, this is what I'm about to do.
On Tuesday morning I woke up at 4 o'clock with a migraine. I've never had one that was so bad that it actually woke me up, but this one was just that. I took some medicine and tried to go back to sleep, but that wasn't going to happen. I woke mom up, so she did her momma thing and took care of me. It was precious. I was definitely reminded how thankful I am to have a mommy that will stay up with me, rub my back, and sleep on my floor just in case I need her. My migraine medicine wasn't cutting it. I felt so nauseous, it just wasn't a pretty thing. I finally fell back to sleep at about 6 that morning. My parents were gracious and let me sleep in.

I went in to school at about 10:30 because we had a basketball game at 1. Now, I was just planning on going and watching the game. Oh, how I'd soon be surprised. I walk in to school and our principal, Mr. Smith, and the varsity boys' coach are talking in the lobby. I was greeted by Mr. Smith asking how I was feeling, which I told him I still felt awful, and his response was "Well, I'm glad you decided to come take one for the team." Did I hear him wrong? He made it sound like I was playing! I went into the office and the secretary tells me that Kara, our other captain, just went to the doctor to get her foot x-rayed. What did I miss in two hours?? I then realized I was going to have to play even if I did puke all over the other team. That would just scare them off. Not a bad plan...

I played. We were down by twenty or something. It was just not pretty. After maybe five minutes of playing time I came down on my ankle wrong. Now, my migraine hurt pretty bad, but this was worse. My coaches had to carry me off the court and my ankle was nice and swollen. First I cried because, well, it hurt. Then, I cried because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to play the rest of the season. But then I just laughed. I laughed because honestly, it just amazed me how bad my day had gone.

Now, I'm on crutches and my ankle is just as swollen as it was yesterday. Oddly enough it doesn't hurt all that much. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow. So, pray nothing is seriously wrong and that I can play by next Tuesday! Ok, that might be asking too much, but whatever.

I hope everyone has a great week! Don't go break your ankles.

Much Love
