First Broken Bone.

THIS POST CONTAINS SOME DISTRESSING IMAGES!


So...I have now broken my first bone. How did I do it? It's actually a pretty funny story:

I was at my dance school on the Monday in Jazz class and everything was normal and we were rehearsing our dance for our dance recital that was coming up soon. I was told to do my section of the dance, I did so by then doing a run into a split leap where then I knew I fucked up. I stopped thinking of all things around me and just felt the pain rushing through my foot. I had landed onto my ankle on the landing instead of my foot. 

Now.. I then blanked out for 2 minutes so I don't remember much but my friends in class with me said my face turned white and my eyes went extremely wide, and that I apparently lowered myself to the ground and moved away from my teacher in a weird exorcist looking style. Even though this would have been uncomfortable to watch I wish someone filmed me as I had no recollection or remembrance of that happening which I think is pretty interesting and funny.

I told you the images were distressing...

I remember from when my friends gave me ice packs on the floor and my dance teacher sat next to me and said: "don't worry Lexi, it is just a sprain, you are just in shock, you are fine!" By this point I still had not cried or screamed but then I looked down to my foot and saw how swelled up it was I cried for 10 seconds and then told my friend next to me "sorry i really want to be brave this is probably just shock."

Little did I know that my ankle was actually broken.

When I went to the hospital the next morning and they told me this I then cried for over an hour as I straight away realized I was not going to be able to dance for a good 2 months which meant I was out of the dance recital.

The plasterer was trying to calm me down on the table as I was balling my eyes out as he said
"Oh well next week you get to have your full cast and you can choose any pretty color to have on."

I did not care about the bloody colors. I cared about my ankle being actually broken.

But anyways my ankle is in a half cast right now and to be honest with you now I am looking forward to my full cast as it will probably look better than my half cast right now:

Deciding the color has already been done for me as well cause I explained to my friends that I didn't care so they decided pink just so that they can sign it.

So I wish this experience didn't happen but I also believe things happen for a reason so I hope this makes me stronger and helps me in some way of form which I have not discovered yet.
