I figure it will take me 5 years to reach first degree black belt. My teacher says he thinks it will take less.<br />Too bad you've suffered so much trouble with sprained ankles. They seem to take forever to heal.<br />I sprained a muscle in my arm a month ago. It's still annoying, but we've learned to work around it then I go home and take some Tylenol for arthritis. It's not as weight bearing as an ankle would be.<br />Barbaranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419468362679974666.post-32150601830685529212012-11-04T22:04:13.819-05:002012-11-04T22:04:13.819-05:00Hi Mary,

In the meantime I have a story to finish, writing as April Reid, and another Sons of Earth and Wind story in the plotting stage titled, Curse the Darkness.

I would have liked to continue, but I kept spraining my ankles and it got to the point that my ankles hurt consistantly. It was decided by my instructors and myself that I needed to give it up for awhile! You never know, I may go back and earn my 2nd degree! Especially after reading your story!<br /><br />jlshadden(AT)mediacombb(DOT)comJodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12261404069250819442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419468362679974666.post-41955782699200684962012-11-04T16:29:06.423-05:002012-11-04T16:29:06.423-05:00Hi Mary,
