Horrible pain shot from my right ankle to my entire body as I lay in the middle of the baseball field. When I tore my Achilles I felt scared and I felt pain. My thoughts on it is why did it hurt so bad. I thought the pain would never go away. That day when I tore my Achilles I will never forget the pain that I went through.

The day when I tore my Achilles started of like any other Saturday. I woke up and got ready for my little league game. It was an early game so I was tired and didn’t want to go. I thought it was stupid to have such an early game. When I got to my game we started to warm up. We started the game and I caught the first four games in the middle of the first inning I was about to through the runner out that stolen second and I rolled my ankle and I feel to the ground. I started to cry when my coaches came out and carried me off the field. They sat me down on the grass next to the dugout. When I was sitting in the grass I was allot of pain. I was crying and icing my ankle. When I would look down at my ankle it was swollen to the size of a baseball. I thought the pain would never go away. I didn’t think I could walk on it because of the pain. The game ended. When I had to leave my grandpa was there and him and my dad.

When I got home I iced my ankle. I took a nap and when I woke up my ankle was still hurting and throbbing. I felt allot of pain and I could barley move my ankle with out it hurting. I was kind of scared because I didn’t no what was wrong with my ankle. The next morning my ankle looked the same. I went to children’s hospital. I waited for the nurse to say, “ Jacob the doctor is ready for you”. I waited for about 20 minutes. Then the doctor was finally ready for me when I went to the room the doctor look at it and said that I tore my Achilles tendon. I had to get a cast. I picked blue. Ii was allowed to walk on the cast. I had to keep on the cast for 3 months then come back and see what happened. When I went back I had to get another cast and I wasn’t allowed to walk on it. I had to use crutches. I felt sad because I was going to my aunts because she lives where it snows cause. I wasn’t allowed in the snow because my cast couldn’t get wet. I thought that it was stupid because I liked to go in the snow. IT REALY SUCKED!

Ever since I tore my Achilles tendon it still hurts. Some times my ankle hurts more than others sometimes I can barley walk on it and sometimes I can walk just fine. It makes me not be able to run long distances. It is dumb that something I did 2 years ago will hurt me my entire life. I feel sad knowing that I won’t be able to run that good with out my ankle. Now when I do sports I have to wear a brace. I have to wear a brace when I run and even play with my friends after school. I dislike that I have to wear my brace all the time. Its uncomfortable, itches and gets sweaty. I think that it is dumb.

I will never ever forget the pain I went through on this day. When I tore it I was scared hurt and tired. I didn’t know what was going to happen to me. I thought I broke my ankle or at least a bone. That is my story about the day I tore my Achilles tendon.
