Badly Broken Ankle *LINK* *PIC*

Last Wednesday I was at pre-teen camp for my church as a sponsor. Well at the lake there is this thing called the blob. It is a huge airbag on the water that some one is to jump onto from a 8-10foot high platform. Once you land on it you crawl to the end of the airbag and then the next person jumps and launches you in the air back into the water. I was doing the jumping off the platform part. When I jumped I did not jump right and I felt a crackle, pop, snap when I landed onto the blob. I then slid into the water crying and screaming. The lifegaurds got me out. At first i thought I broke both my legs but I was able to move them after a while. And it was just my right ankle. I had surgery this Friday. Where they put in a plate with seven screws on one side and wires on the other. Due to this injury I will be unable to go back to school due to my leg being immobile for quiet some time plus I will not be able to drive. I will also have to go through rehab. I will not be lifting for a while. I know for sure this semester is out for lifting. I am sorry if this post is a little confusing. I am on medication for the pain which makes me a little groggy. God Bless, Jeri Shepherd
