Ankle injury healed
In the autumn of 2001, I found myself turning to God for help. At high school, each term we got to choose which sport we would like to play, and in first term, I chose indoor soccer. We were put in mixed teams of boys and girls—many of the boys being quite experienced soccer players. Every Wednesday afternoon, we would walk to the sporting venue, play our game of soccer, and then I would walk about half a mile to get home.
Halfway through the term, however, I had an accident. We were in the middle of a game, and one of the boys from the opposing team went to kick the ball with a lot of force. Unfortunately, he missed the ball and ended up kicking me. My ankle received the full impact.
I was in a lot of pain, and my ankle began to swell. There was concern that my ankle might be fractured or broken because at first I couldn't walk at all, and a lump formed on my ankle that quickly grew quite large.
