My injury!!

A lady in our ward has been teaching Zumba at our church building a couple times a week and I love it!! It's a great workout and you work up a sweat while having fun! A couple of weeks ago, I went to another church to do it and we had to go into the Primary room because the scouts were setting up their pine wood derby! We even had the room scheduled but we were nice since they had half of it set up! They should know they need something scheduled for something big like that! And they could have done it AFTER we worked out because we don't stay that late! But o-well. So we ended up doing it in the Primary room that has CARPET!! I guess I will never do that again because my foot caught and it went one way and my body went the other way which made me totally off balance. I then had to put my hand down to catch myself. It all hurt!! My foot hurt from being turned and my arm hurt from all my weight landing on it! I limped out to the car and cried all the way home. It swelled up fast and was very hard to walk on. I was praying that it wasn't broken! This is what it looked like that night:(

I decided to wait to see how my foot felt the next day before I went to the doctors. It still hurt like crazy but it felt better and since it continued to feel better each day, I never went. I just figured it must have been deeply bruised if it continued to hurt less and less! This is what it looked like about a week later! The bruise had spread across the whole top of my foot and stayed pretty swollen. I just kept it wrapped up as much as I could.

And this doesn't show it very well but my arm was pretty bruised as well. Actually, two weeks later, my arm hurts worse than my foot which is really weird. It must have taken longer to settle in. I can still feel it a little where I hurt it but I did both an exercise dvd and I went back to Zumba for the first time and I felt good. I only felt it when I was jumping on one foot so I stopped doing that just to be careful! I'm excited to get active again! I realized that I don't like not being able to do what I want. I guess I better be more careful:)
