Last Monday, while swimming my daily thousand meters, I got what felt like a cramp in the arch of my right foot. It wasn't a bad enough cramp to keep me from swimming, so I continued on--finishing the last six hundred meters.
That night I went to pick my sister up at the airport, and while driving home I realized my foot hurt, but didn't connect it to the pain from earlier (I'm just focused like that).
In fact, I didn't think anything of the lingering pain until Wednesday, when after spending two days on my feet, moving large poolside equipment, I found I couldn't walk.
Turns out, I'm so graceful, I managed to get a stress fracture in my foot--without doing anything.
Usually, I'm obviously graceful. Doing things like, dropping an aqua-treadmill on my toe--on dry land, running over that same toe with a heavy guard stand, and separating that toe nail from the bed of my big toe with a rolling pool cart.
It's official, I'm changing my name to Grace.
On the upside?
The required downtime given to me by the doctor and being enforced by my employer, may give me time to get some real (AKA, writing) work done.
What are some of your graceful moments?
R.S.
I've had two "graceful" moments that were so bad I can't even talk about them! I may write about them someday... anyonymously:)
