Apparently Ohio is out to get me...
6 years ago
My partner and I were up in Ohio for a turn-and-burn visit to see my grandmother for her birthday. We flew up Friday and flew home on Saturday. Short time, but my Nana gets tired pretty easily, so a shorter visit was for the best. My Aunt, Uncle, and a bunch of cousins also live nearby so I got to hang out with them as well.
Yesterday morning the whole family went out to a newly opened rock-climbing gym to check it out (minus my Nana of course). It was a ton of fun, until...
So there's one area in the gym for boldering, which has shorter walls (about 10ft or so) that you're meant to climb without harnesses. The floor is padded, but the idea is to climb up and most of the way back down before jumping off.
It was the end of the day, and I was tired, but wanted to get one last climb in. I took the easiest route, made it to the top, but when I went to climb back down my tired fingers were like "nope!".
Long story short, I took the express way back down and landed badly on my ankle. I was terrified I'd broken it, but luckily it seems to be just a really bad sprain. I'm now learning how much crutches suck, but at least I got some VIP treatment going through the airport for our flight home.
The reason I think the state is out to get me is the last time we visited Ohio to see family I was in a car accident that totaled my car and left me with a concussion and a little memory loss.
Don't know what I did to earn Ohio's wrath, but next I go up, I'm wrapping myself in bubble wrap. o.O

But for serious, at least you only sprained it badly and didn't actually break/fracture it. Hopefully it heals quickly, and you can get rid of the crutches sooner rather than later
