I have been injured in one of the stupidest ways possible. Last night we went over to Paul and Angela's house and they had rented a giant blow up slide for a family reunion. Sage was dying to try it out and so I decided to go down with her on my lap. Everyone told me to keep my feet up as I went down. I did my best but near the heel of my foot touched down and Sage and I went flying. Luckily Sage was not injured, but my leg was hurting more than just a little bit. I managed to climb off the slide and collapse onto the soaking wet grass. My big toe on my right foot showed distress right away and started to turn pink and purple. I also did something to my knee ( we are not quite sure of the damage yet, hopefully it is nothing bad). I kept a brave face in front of all of the Ritchie family, I think I was still in some kind of shock, but when I got to our car then the tears started coming. Today my knee is all swollen and I can't bend my toe. I have been laying on the couch most of the day with my leg up and ice on it. It is possibly one of the dumbest ways to get injured ever! I need to come up with a good story to tell people when they ask me how I hurt my leg. Giant slide injury just does not sound that cool.
