This story starts out just like the other falling with style post.
This past Thursday, Mark and I drove to Clemson, SC to check out the Old Stone Church Cemetery. It's a beautifully preserved part of SC's history. The man who Pickens County was named after is buried there. Many graves date back to the late 1700s, maybe even back further than that. I don't know because I only got to spend about 30 minutes there.
We were just taking our time, viewing the old headstones. Mark had went on ahead of me to check out some graves in a brick fenced in area.
The area that is fenced in is probably 20 feet by 15 feet. On one end there is an opening with a step down into the area. I caught up with Mark, attempted to step down and the next thing I knew was I was grasping at the brick wall and then I heard a loud snap. Yay.
Mark helped me up and to the car which was only about 100 feet from where I fell. Mark drove me to the ER in Anderson. They say it's a sprain. Im not convinced. This doesn't feel like any sprain I've ever had and the swelling is only getting worse. Kinda looks like a grapefruit on the side of my foot.
Why do I post this? Am I seeking attention? No. I'm posting this only to say that although I've had my fair share of injuries and illnesses over the past year, I'm not giving up.
I'm not sure what is keeping me from throwing in the towel. But my towel is still right here with me.
And besides, I'd probably hurt myself while throwing in my towel! 😂
PS - this picture was taken yesterday. It's worse today and I don't want to gross you out too much!
