I could not exactly describe how I felt when I got Dorothy's call informing me that she sprained her foot. Memories from the time she fractured her left wrist came flooding into my head. The pain during the first few nights and the casting that she was having until the bone healed were too much to bear. Wasting no time, I went straight to pick her up and thankfully, it wasn't look that bad when I checked it out because it didn't show any swelling or bruising, it was just painful when she walked. I took her to the doctor straight away and the doctor explained that she somehow stretched the ligaments in her foot that hold the arch together and decided to wrap an elastic bandage around her foot to help support the arch when she walks, and told her to give her foot a rest as much as possible.
She was playing soccer with friends before the school day finish and suddenly she just felt the pain. She didn't trip over , step into a hole or something during the game. The pain was bad that she decided to disengaged herself from the game the moment she felt it.
The following day, it was such a great relief that Dorothy decided to go to school for her foot was feeling better and the pain wasn't bad any more, and to make her foot more comfortable she decided to wear thong slippers instead. I wrote an excuse letter to the uniform in-charge explaining the reason why Dorothy wasn't wearing complete uniform. I will take her back to the doctor tomorrow for a follow-up check up.

Muscle injury like this may happen to an athlete or an active person like Dorothy, right?
Is there a way to avoid it? Perhaps proper body stretching and warming up before doing any workout may help.
Take care of her dear. Hope she feels better and good now. Will pray for her healing.
