Crutches?!

I was dumb ... On Tuesday, May 12, I was out yelling at the Seniors to get to class, especially those that were headed to my class next. One student told me that I am always late to class ... well, it's because I am off telling them to get to class. So today I decided to get to class on time. I told that student that I will be on time, actually I would get to class before her. So she took off running down the steps, across a flat area, and up the stairs to my room. I took off after her. Once I got to my steps, I jumped to about the third or fourth step, which I missed and severely twisted my ankle. I stopped and knew that something was wrong. I needed another student to help me up the rest of the steps to my classroom. I got seated and took off my shoe and sock. There was a huge bulge over my ankle bone. The nurse came to help me and had a drive take me to the hospital. I got to the hospital and they took x-rays. Luckily there are no broken or fractured bones. They told me to just keep my foot up and iced. I also had to get crutches. I had to wait about an hour in the emergency room to have someone bring me to the are of the hospital where I get the crutches. My entire time in the ER was 5 hours. They were not really equipped with the appropriate amount of manpower.
