Brooke's Really Tall Tales: Who's awesome at trampolining?

Me. Yeah. See what had happened was... We went to this power tumbling place where there are lots of trampolines and foam pits and uhm a giant bear-lion came roaring out of a foam pit and was heading straight towards little Timmy with his broken leg so I kicked it in the jaw so hard that it died...

I'm just kidding. I suck.

Friday night, my ward had its closing social and for the activity, we went to this place called X-treme Air Sports (it's a power tumbling place, like a few blogs back) and I was there for about five minutes, jumping on the trampoline for about 1.5 minutes when my life was destroyed. I mean not really... But kinda.

I was doing a sweet split - that Elizabeth didn't get a picture of! - and when I landed, my ankles twisted in and I fell the the ground... well, if being on the trampoline still counts as the ground.

I was afraid that I had hurt both ankles so I sat there for a minute before moving to this big pad thing. While sitting, my left ankle began to swell and I discovered a huge chunk of skin missing from my big toe on my right foot. After a while of sitting there, I made my way over to the "injured kid corner" to sit with the recently injured Brett Maughan. When it was time to leave, different guys (I can't remember fully who helped when) helped me out to the car. Brett left on his own two feet. Too bad he BROKE HIS LEG and is ten times more of a man than I am! haha

So since I couldn't get up the stairs to my apartment, I went to Erika, Sarah, and Lauren's which is a few steps down rather than about 20 steps up. John and Matt Bohman, who helped me into the apartment, went home and changed and came back to give me a blessing.

Let me just talk a moment on this. I have such a strong testimony of the priesthood. The Spirit was so strong and it was so clear when they were blessing me how worthy they are and how much they care for people, including me haha I am so grateful to have had them there and for them to be willing to bless me. I know that this whole thing would have been a lot worse if they hadn't given me a blessing!

There was a lot of crying that night, whether from my pain, the Spirit, my patheticness, or laughing and then my tears just slipping out. I looked like a hot mess!

Saturday, I finally went to the emergency room since no doctors would answer their phones and I couldn't go to the BYU health clinic. After a tooooon of x-rays, I finally found out that I'm actually just a big baby and have a 2nd degree sprained ankle. I got a fiberglass splint that I have to wear for at least two weeks and crutches that I have to use for at least three days. My upper body hurts like the dickens because have no upper body strength whatsoever!

Hopefully I'll get better soon and everything with school and work will work itself out! I just need to have the patience and faith to make it through!

At least my mom and I will be twins now kinda!

Here are some more fun pics :]
