Today during swimming team's practice, I wore flippers to practice my breaststroke's kicking, but since when wearing it, people can go forward in real fast speed, I got excited and kept kicking real hard, which on the final kick, I kicked with all my force, which resulted in a twisted ankle. At first, I thought that I was having a cramp and it hurt just like when people have a cramp. I sat on the side first, but after a while, I found out that I could move my foot upwards and downwards, but not sideways. Whenever I move it sideways, the sharp pain come back, almost knocking over my consciousness for a few times. I kept yelling in the pool, and after the pain went away, I tried moving my legs. It wasn't that bad, but I still couldn't walk normally on it. When walking, I had to inhale and exhale deeply every time. Frank told me that I had to put an ice pack on it when I get home, but the problem was that the weather is already too cold for me, and having to put ice on my skin was too much for me. The other that I'm really worried about is the competition coming up in 17 days. I don't think that I can be practicing these days, but counting down the days everyday, it scares me a lot about how I won't be able to compete but I've been practicing a lot already for it.
