Vital Trek of Life

Started off the morning pretty well! I was feeling recovered, got some good sleep, and was ready to tear up the day! I went to the fueling station pretty shortly after, and ate a good breakfast, before scootering over to English class.

On my way over, I was passing one of the busiest sections on campus, and there was a ton of people coming the opposite direction, because it was a busy time of day.

One girl in particular was walking in the opposite direction I was riding, and she attempted to get out of the way, and happened to get in the exact path I was riding. I of course, attempted to avoid her, and was slowing down as this was happening, but we hit each other, and the poor girl was knocked down. I don’t remember too much about how I sprained it, because I was more concerned with how the lady was doing after I “plowed her”, but I imagine I stepped off the scooter funny at the speed and that’s what sprained my ankle. I recognize that I need to be more careful riding the scooter, and honestly drive a little slower in general, but something like this had never happened before, and it was even unreal that it happened in the first place. However, it wasn’t that bad, and I think the sprain and the swelling are somewhat more on the minor side.

Pretty wild. As soon as I was done with English class, I ice it for a bit, and went to Hannah to get it checked out. She examined it, and there was some swelling, and taped it up for me. I continued the rest of my day, cautiously, almost scared to ride the scooter.

At practice time, today I hopped on the elliptical, and just did that for an hour. Depending on how it feels, tomorrow I’ll do the workout like normal after taping it up.

After practice, I did full core, followed by this compression/ice thing Hannah helped me with. Kinda a bummer day!
