30 Day Blog Challenge, day 3 - what is the greatest amount of physical pain you have ever endured?
That's a tough question.
I mean, I've never broken a bone or anything. I've gotten a foot tattoo, but that wasn't nearly as painful as people made it out to be. I have an idea in mind for the greatest amount of physical pain I've endured was, but it's sort of... embarrassing. And what you should know about that is that I hate crying in public. I never forgive myself for it, especially if I cry like a little kid, and that totally happened to me.
So this is the time I cried like a big fat baby.
I was in Jamaica. Now that's a good way to start a story. It was the summer of 2010 and not a day goes by that I miss that place. Anyway, we were there on a mission trip, just me and a small group of people.
On our last day, we decided to spend the time to relax and have fun before our departure. On the plan for that day, we took a trip to Dunn's River Falls.
Basically, you climb up the falls. Yikes. But I was a little more adventurous those couple of years ago. Long story short, there was this small waterfall that slid into a small pool. Sounds safe, right? Nope. Anyhow, I was a bit cautious, so I let two others go ahead of me. They slid of the slippery rock into the small pool and popped out of the water safe and sound.
But there was a trick to it. Once sliding off, you had to go into a cannonball, or you'd probably break your freaking foot.
Don't think the end of this story is so typical. To this day, I swear I went into the dang cannonball. But lo, I popped out of the pool, crying like a newborn baby.
You don't understand. I was legit crying. Like, hyperventilating. I swore my ankle was broken. But nope, it was just sprained. Yeah, I'm a weakling.
Basically, I couldn't do anything for the remainder of the trip, which was practically over anyhow.
My foot was swollen and bruised for about two months. Leaving the airport, I had to be put in a wheelchair, despite the fact that I didn't want to (though I was slowing everyone down; sorry guys). Embarrassing, right? But I laughed it off because I'm cool. Whatevs.
