Water polo actually went really well and we got to do more drills/less "how to pass" type things. So that was great!
When it was time to pull the goals out of the water, I had one end of one while Katie had the other. Somehow in the process of pulling the goals onto land, the goal was dropped and landed on the top/inside of my foot. These things aren't light. They're not the ones that you see floating nicely on top of the water during games and tournaments. These things are huge, massive, and 100% metal.
Yeah. That's what they ACTUALLY look like. So, that got dropped on my foot, and my foot instantly swelled. For a while it looked like there was an indention in my bone where the bar landed. The top/inside of my foot was a lovely shade of black and blue within 10 minutes. Once the shock of "oh crud, that just happened" past and I regain my composure, I was able to put weight on the outside of my foot to go about the rest of my night. I went to Breakaway (but was only able to sit down during worship, standing for 30 minutes wasn't really an option). I couldn't fit my Chaco on that foot because it was so swollen, so I had to wear a flip flop. Not to worry, my sense of humor was still there because I proudly wore my chaco on my other foot as I hobbled up the ramps of Kyle to Breakaway. I was asked numerous times "Did you know you are wearing 2 different shoes?", to which I replied, "why no, I didn't! Thanks for letting me know!" and then laughed and explained to them why I was wearing 2 shoes.
I put on a good show, but Myriam & Dani could read through it. Dani walked me back to my car afterwards, and both lectured me on calling if I needed anything. I made it home and made an appointment with the Beutel (the school health service) for tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon to make sure that nothing is fractured/broken. I have every intention of being in the water tomorrow night to lead my team, so we shall see.
But yep. That was an adventure. We will see what tomorrow brings! I'm hoping that I'll wake up to find my foot looking normal and me being able to jump around and do cartwheels on it, as if nothing had happened!
