10. Your friends will pick you up and help you get to the bench so you can elevate your leg.
9. Someone will run to the local market and grab a bag, ice and a wrap to help with the swelling.
8. A friend will take your phone and try calling your husband to break him the news.
7. Another friend will stand and try to cheer you up with thoughts on "Let's figure out the silver lining"!
6. A car is driven onto the grass by a friend who cares more about you than her car and the park rules (hehe). She drives right up to the bench so you won't have to hobble very far.
5. Someone offers to take your kids while you are taken to urgent care. Super sweet since neither one of them had eaten lunch and the littlest one was due for a nap. YIKES.
4. A friend will sit with you at Urgent Care for almost 3 hours while you wait, fill out paperwork, wait, get an x-ray, wait, get pushed into a patient room, wait, have your blood pressure taken, wait and finally talk to the doctor.
3. While at Urgent Care, another friend from the park will call her husband to come and drive your car home from the park for you. It will be sitting in your drive way when you get home!
2. Knowing that you will have to be on crutches and off your feet for a few days, one friend brings you books, another a sweet strawberry treat, someone else a roll-about apparatus and you receive MANY sweet phone calls wishing you well.
AND THE #1 REASON TO SPRAIN YOUR ANKLE AT THE PARK WITH FRIENDS...
1. To remember to count your many blessings and at the top of your blessings list...your amazing friends.
Love you all!
Sincerely,
'Hop Along' (formally known as Jodi)
