Church Basketball is all Fun and Games until...

So while our pictures of Brad with an injured leg are few in number, I think it is an important story to relate to those who may not have been aware of this great calamity. So towards the end of April our stake held a basketball final on Friday night in a three game tournament. Brad was feeling great and playing hard when in the last game of the night, he felt a shooting pain in the back of his foot and fell down on the court. As he hobbled off, ward members' first impressions were that he had sprained his ankle. Sadly, it was more than just a sprain. He had ruptured his achilles tendon and would have to undergo an hour long surgery and months of being in a cast and physical therapy to heal the wounded tendon. We are happy to report that he is walking on his own now without a crutch or brace of any sort. While he is not quite up to running ability yet, he has definitely come a long way in a relatively short time. I am grateful to have my awesome helper back and glad to see he is able to get around on his own again!
