There is nothing like trying to help a teenager that has injured herself and doesn't know how to handle pain in a graceful or reasonable way!My poor kid is learning a hard lesson. That lesson would be that if you don't walk or run for your exercise in quite awhile....... Then you should not decide to take a nice LONG walk (and even run a couple of the laps) when you are just wearing Chucks. And if your on the heavy side too
She really does love to run, but just hadn't in a long time because of sickness and schedule etc. So her pt has been other kinds of exercises she could squeeze in here and there. She now has a HUGE bruise and I guess her muscle in the side/bottom of her for must be sprained. This is the end of day 3 and she still can't put full weight on it. Bit her attitude has much improved from the first day........ When apparently it was anyone that came near her fault that she was in severe pain. Thank goodness she can laugh and make a joke today. Lots of soaking and icing going on!
I bet she won't forget to wear walking or running shoes next time! Hard lesson. But lessons learned by doing is how she Learns best.
I don't know about the rest of you? But I AM COUNTING DOWN TO SPRING!!!!!!!!!!
I am also counting down ! just have to get through the bad weather Wed night & Thurs & then deal with the time change this weekend! Hugs to your sore kid!
So I passed.
