time for healng- and ironically humbleness....

It is true, right now is a time for both healing and humbleness in my own life. I am recovering from a bad sprain to my left ankle last weekend, a bad roll. Right now it is still very swollen, and very purple. I would post pictures, but I don't think you all want to see. Yesterday I went to the Rockwood clinic next to school, and had my ankle x-rayed. Nothing is broken, so that is good, and the school health insurance covered the cost, so that is good as well.
I never really thought about it before, but when we are fine, and everything is working alright, we don't think of how blessed we are. This is the first time I have ever had to use crutches. It is difficult, especially on campus, where I am always having to climb flights of stairs, and in the cafeteria we have to carry trays with our food and drinks on them, which I cannot do right now. So I am learning how to be humble, and ask for help from people. I feel like such a gimp right now. For those of you that know me well, you know that I love to be self-sufficiant, and active. It is hard to sit still, and keep my ankle elevated 4 inches above my heart. I will be out of frisbee for 1 month, and cannot walk w/out crutches until this weekend. Next Monday is my 21st birthday, and I will have trouble walking, not because of being drunk, but because my ankle will not be right.
If you are ever about to do something questionable, and hear a voice inside tell you not to do it, listen. Right before I ran up and jumped with three guys, and consequently got a hurt ankle I heard that voice inside me say "that looks like it could be bad, you should just stay here, and let that bee fall." However 2 seconds later pride took over, and I thought if I make that catch, and come down with it over three other people, all of whom are taller than I, I will be looked on as a great frisbee player. Now look where I am, I have trouble opening doors, walking to class, aquiring food to eat, and have to sleep on the couch for a while because I cannot climb up to my top bunk.
