Red Right Ankle

Hey folks. Long time no blog. Not like anyone was waiting anyway. So much has happened. For instance. In my last post which was well over a year ago I had just started dating my first boyfriend. Now he is my ex and I have found my soul-mate! I've known Josh since about August and we've been officially together since December. I like telling the story of how Josh and I really got to know eachother so perhaps I will post it sometime. However, this post is going to cover some current events. Tonight when I was at Aikido having a great time learning and growing like usual something unexpected happened. My partner and I were at the far end of the mat and were switching stances when my foot landed in the space between the mat and the wooden frame around it. (A canvas material covers the mat and is connected to the boards.) I twisted my ankle really bad *I think it's sprained---at minimum*. It hurt ferouciously and after I hobbled over to the chair my sensai got me I was starting to feel faint. I'm kinda prone to fainting so this wasn't surprising to me. I fought the feeling for awhile but eventually all the white gi's became one blur with the cream colored mat and I was out. It was intense. Normally when I faint nothing happens between the time I am out and the time I am back. Just seconds have passed and nothing occurs in my mind during that time. Like non-dreaming sleep. This time was different. I saw vivid and rushing imagery and had a series of thoughts. I seem to remember being focused on my pelvic region. When I came back it took me a moment to realize where I was and who I was looking at. My sensai had cought me before I fell off the chair. He said I had a small seizure. Apparently my whole body tensed up for a moment or two. That would explain the imagry...I didn't just faint...I also had a mini-seizure. Well that's what he said anyway and I believe he is a very knowledgable person. So I was a little shook up for a bit but I was able to drive myself home and walk for the most part. I thought that I may have exaggerated my injury...I don't think so now *wince* Ouchie! Well I guess that's it. Except I wanna mention I have the coolest folks in so many ways....but dad doing my taxes for me is a big plus! Oh yeah, and I like it when my cousin has DND in our apartment. Very entertaining.
