OUCH!!!

On April 1st - Yes April Fool's Day - Dustin took apart the kid's old portable basketball stand that had broke.  I was helping him move the base (it had most of the sand out of it but was still heavy!), I lost my grip and dropped my side on my left shin/foot.  Holy Crap did it hurt! 
I scraped skin off of my shin and my ankle/foot was bruised hard!  I could hardly walk on it.  After about 5 days almost my whole left foot had turned black and blue!  It freaked me out so I went to a podiatrist to have some x-rays taken but luckily I did not break anything.  I was told to keep taking Ibuprofen and he gave me some physical therapy exercises to do every night, at home.  These pictures are dark and don't show all of the bruising but it gives you an idea.

Now after a month my bruising is almost gone and the therapy has really helped.  I have been walking normal for almost a week!  We got the kid's a new portable basketball stand.  In case you were wondering, I stayed inside the house while Dustin and the kids put it together. :)
