My family and I went to the orchard and the farm. At the orchard, we picked Asian pears. At the farm, we picked a various types of fresh vegetables. It is always fun to pick fresh produces from the farm and trees.
When we were almost done picking up vegetables that I was planning to pick, I saw okra trees. They looked almost dried up. The majority of okra grew too huge to eat. I wanted to get some fresh ones so I walked deep between the trees.
I was careless. I didn’t look at the ground at all. The okra trees were planted with a deep ditch that I didn’t notice. Then, I sprained my right ankle in the ditch.
At first I thought I was okay. My husband and daughter asked me if I was okay. I smiled at them and said I was okay.
However, on the next second, I had a panic attack.
Luckily the okra field was located very close to the rest area where they had benches with shades. Also they had a bathroom right next to the benches.
I sat down on the bench because I could not keep standing. I didn’t feel any pain in my ankle, but other parts of my body showed panicking.
My vision got blurry. I had lots of sweat all over my body. My heart beat rapidly. My both hands were uncontrollably shaking. I got nausea. I had headache. I felt like I was floating.
With the help of my family, I somewhat could walk back to our car.
After I came back home, I put a leaf of cabbage to cool off my swollen ankle.
The last time I sprained my ankle was when I was 15 years old. My body got shocked with the sudden pain and probably that was why my body had a panic attack.

I needed to cancel the appointment with my friend. She and I were planning to go for a long distanced walk this evening. I hope my ankle will recover soon. Sorry to my body cells and thank you for working hard to recover.
