My Deployment

My Ankle Today

I figured why not show another gross picture of my lovely foot and give everyone an update…so here you go:

When I said I would be on crutches for a few weeks I was lying; I didn’t know I was lying, I just didn’t realize it would heal as fast as it did. Today was the first day I was able to walk all day without crutches, although I do have a considerable limp and it takes me twice as long to get wherever I’m going. It still looks bad, but from a pain standpoint I’m doing OK. At least I tell myself that…

It cramped on me last night while I was sleeping, either that or I moved it the wrong way. I’m not sure which happened, but I do know I wanted to scream real loud and wake everybody up. When I got home today it hurt a bit so depending on how I feel tomorrow morning when I wake up I might decide to use the crutches again…at least for one day…we’ll see. I wouldn’t mind, but there is one problem: crutches suck and I don’t want to use them. Plus, I feel more like a man when I walk on it and isn’t that important?

In unrelated news…

I’m three weeks into my last two classes and I’m realizing they are a bit harder and more complex than I thought. One of the classes, Biblical Interpretation, is at least interesting and motivates me, but the other is not and doesn’t. Who cares about Church Administration anyways?

Hmm…I suppose I better learn to care. Maybe it’s good for me that the classes are hard. I think that means I’ll learn more.

That’s it from here. Thank you for all the prayers for the ankle!!
