Ever had one of those months where something very small and what would typically be insignificant derails all your plans? I’m not talking about those little things that lead to something much larger. Those things tend to grow well beyond our control.
I’m talking about the everyday little things that manage to sideline you for months on end, like stepping off a curb incorrectly and rolling your ankle. This is a minor thing. An inconvenience for most of us at best, this minor mishap suddenly consumes my months.
A rolled ankle resulted in an x-ray, which resulted in being told to stay off the foot for a few weeks and keep it elevated. While staying off the foot, I received a phone call asking me to check in with my doctor immediately.
You see, it wasn’t just a rolled ankle. It was a discovery of weak bones and loads of fractures that explained my foot pain. This small discovery resulted in more tests, more discussions around therapy, and suddenly having more specialists added to my team. And all because I was out walking the four-footed one and stepped off a curb wrong. An ordinary thing led to extraordinary results I never expected in my wildest dreams.
