Ankle fracture
Posted , 3 users are following.
When I broke my ankle, I appreciated all the things, health, wealth. Thanks to God for reminding me all. Before the injury when I was healthy and full of energy I spend most time for unnecessary things. Fun, fun, fun. I was in a black side of a life with blurred eyes and saw only superficial sides of a life. We don't know what will happen in the future and what is expecting us. Simple fall or small accident can be reason for death. I believe that I can walk and run again. But this accident taugh me to be honest and never stop praying. I lose a lot of money and my carrier also stopped but I never regret. Because I understood many things while I stood at home in a cast with crutches for a long time. The feelings when you hike to the mountains is transient, emotions when you celebrate your brithday is transient. All the things that you enjoy are transient in this life. Never stop doing good deeds. They will be the points in your life and a key to everlasting paradise. Good wishes Joe.

That's very true! Everything in life is a blessing or a lesson. Instead of saying "why me?" We have to look for the silver lining. I know that sounds trite but we literally make the choice to accept or to be absolutely miserable.
There is not much I will take for granted anymore, that's for sure! Just carrying a glass of water is going to be exciting. I also learned who really cared and was there for the long haul and who just could not be bothered. I learned I can tolerate way too much pain without fainting ( I had to hold my foot on for 45 minutes until I got to the hospital as even a tiny movement would have sent bone through the skin). And most important, I learned that the world won't stop without me. That my kids/hubby can take care of themselves (my kids are all grown). They just can't take care of the house very well lol!
Good for you for seeing the lesson and the blessing in what happened to you! Isn't it funny how before, we got hurt, if someone broke their ankle we thought it wasn't much of anything? I can't believe the trauma a trimalleolar fracture can do. Crazy! I have nothing but compassion now!
