2 Sprained Feet

On Tuesday, I took the Webelos frisbee golfing.  The course was unkept with high weeds and brush.  One of the boys frisbees landed on a mound along with mine so I went to retrieve them.  With so many weeds I did not see the hole and tripped and fell.  I was shaken up and my feet were sore so I sat there awhile to compose my self.  Neil was with me and helped me up and my feet hurt but I was able to walk.  I shook it off and we finished the course as I walked with a limp.  When I got home I put my feet up and iced them and took some Ibuprofen.  As the night progresses the pain got worse to the point I could not put weight on either foot and had to crawl to the bathroom.  I was bedridden for two days.  Kids brought me my meals and got me water.  I watched Poldark.  We had crutches but being as I couldn't put weight on either foot they were no help.  I just have to laugh because it's so ridiculous.  A month and a half ago, I was washing the outside windows and fell off a ladder and hurt my foot then as well and had to use crutches.

There was a tender mercy in all of this.  On Monday, Conner said he wanted to make dinner this week.  Score!  I told him he could make whatever he wanted and I'd buy the ingredients so he made his list and I went shopping Tuesday morning while the kids were at the dentist.  Then I fell but we didn't need meals or anything because Conner took care of it.  He made bread bowls and baked potato soup, sloppy joes, chicken alfredo and pizza.  I'm so thankful my kids were able to serve me this week.  They are the best.

I also learned that in my old age it will be Conner and Eliza who will take the best care of me.
